我觉得这解释很赞，从corresponding的意思出发，一目了然。根本不用涉及词汇uncompanied  vs. not accompanied

嗯，我下午也刚刚看到这个呢

这题我找到的最好的解释：
by e-gmat   http://www.beatthegmat.com/rising-inventories-t18928.html

Choice A: Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks.
To determine whether the modifier "correspondingly" is placed appropriately or not, read the sentence and ask yourself, what should correspondingly modify.  

Thought process:  Inventories are rising...the sentence indicates that if these rising inventories are not accompanied by increases in sales, then something happens...So rising inventories-corresponding increases in sales.  Thus, corresponding should modify the increases in sales.

Now, lets check what "correspondingly" modifies - it seems to modify the verb - unaccompanied and hence the placement is not correct.

Choice D: Rising inventories, is not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads to production cutbacks.
In this sentence, correspondingly modifies increased sales.  However, notice that in the original sentence, the author is talking about trends - rising inventories and increases in sales.  Choice D, on the other hand, talks about trend in inventories but a specific value of sales - INCREASED sales.  Thus, it does not communicate the intended meaning of the original sentence.  And hence is incorrect.

suri亲，我看了9楼baby姐的解释，说的挺好的，但我还是有点问题~
那个correspondingly隔着by就修饰不到后面的increases in sales了吗？还是说像这些副词形容词，他们应该出现在紧跟在被修饰词的位置，不管是紧前面or紧后面？

zhongshanlh

副词用于修饰形容词、副词或整个句子，这个句子中，correspondingly作为副词，紧跟着其前面的动词unaccompanied，那么很自然而然的就是修饰动词了，意思上是“没有被相应的陪伴”，而后面的increases in sales是个名词性词组，怎么可能会用副词来修饰呢

是不是这样的：因为correspondingly已经修饰了前面的unaccompanied，所以就不会修饰到后面的名词词组“increases in sales”了？

correspoding 的意思是“相应地”，那个条件状语从句的意思是“如果没有伴随相对应的销售增长”，可以看出correspoding修饰的是后面的increases这个名词，所以放在后面。
