(B) act like a buffer so as to absorb

(C) act as a buffer, absorbing

(D) acting as a buffer, absorbing

(E) acting like a buffer, absorb

本题答案选C  
absorbing 在这里是修饰谁呢？ 我的理解是：

SVO,V-ing 结构中  V-ing 有两种用法  1. 修饰主句的主句，与主句谓语动词同时发生，表伴随。
                                                              2. 修饰前面整句话，表结果。
另外， V-ing 结构不能修饰主句的宾语。

所以这个句子中主语是 army corps of engineers, 不可能发出 absorbing的动作。  所以 absorbing 表示 结果，修饰前面整句话。

求证！！！我理解的对不对？？？

你对这个句子的断句有些问题，应该是：

the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that ____________  

换句话说， parallel to shore是状语表示"where"

A proposed building a breakwater of rocks that ____.
Question: where would the breakwater of rocks be built?
Answer: Parallel to shore.

至于v-ing，你版面搜索"v-ing"吧，已经讨论得很详尽了

弹词

分词前面是主谓宾结构+逗号，优先考虑是作为状语修饰前面的动作，（在时态合适的情况下）表示的是伴随或者是结果。否则作为定语修饰前面的名词

分词前面是主系表结构+逗号，修饰的是分词结构前面的词，作为定语。

没有人纠结它主谓一致的问题么。OG里面说a breakwater...acts as...但是答案和句子里用的都是 rise and act，是因为前面有虚拟动词would所以要加动词原形么？？？？那如果没有would的话这个主意a breakwater of rocks的谓语是不是要用单数？？？？？

同问啊！！找了好几个帖子了 怎么没人理这个点啊。。。根据曼哈顿和题意 这个主语也应该是a breakwater啊！

a breakwater that would rise....and [would] act as....
that 跳过of rocks修饰breakwater
因为这里的of phrase不表示从属。
