Q23:

Past assessments of the Brazilian rain forest have used satellite images to tally deforested areas, where farmers and ranchers have clear-cut and burned all the trees, but such work has not addressed either logging, which is the removal of only selected trees, as well as surface fires, burning down individual trees but do not denude the forest.

1. which is the removal of only selected trees, as well as surface fires, burning
   
   
   
2. which removes only selected trees, or surface fires that burn
   
   
   
3. which removes only selected trees, along with surface fires that burn
   
   
   
4. removing only selected trees, or surface fires, burning
   
   
   
5. removing only selected trees, as well as surface fires that burn

answer is B, only one question, logging 是个名词，which removes only selected trees, which 指代的是logging, 但它怎么能发出remove的动作呢，好歹也应该是is removal 吧。

请多指教。

'cause you are referring to the action "logging", which, removes trees;

for example, if you say "Eating cakes makes me fat.", it's the action "eating cakes" that makes you fa;

logging 这里是动名词，为什么不能作remove的主语呢，举个例子，Going shopping makes me happy.

besides, "buring" is not parallel with "denude"
