(C) Native Americans, with their intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land, helped to rescue

(D) having intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land, Native Americans helped the rescue of（C）

(E) knowing intimately the ecology of the land, Native Americans helped to rescue

Q:1,请问E为什么不对. 2,分词修饰和WITH修饰的区别

1. OG的解释:

D and E are confusingly worded because they begin with present participles (having and knowing) that appear at first to refer to the immediately preceding noun, newcomers, rather than to Native Americans.

2. 就这道题而言，我觉得choice C 里的with短语是作为一个方式修饰helped的。choice E里的分词，如上所述，有修饰不清的嫌疑。就算没有前半句，这里的knowing分词短语是修饰native americans的。

除了分词的修饰对象引起歧义之外,提干中前面是一个时间状语从句，E中后面紧跟一个分词状语，也不符合英文表达习惯。
