答案中在解释C选项时说,This construction is less successful at clarifying the chain of events because creating seems to refer back to lying, if used as a participial, creating would have to be preceded by a comma.这一点我有两点疑问:第一,分词,特别是现在分词,在做修饰成分时,除了与逻辑主语的主动被动关系之外,还有没有什么规则?比如,曼哈顿上说分词不需要紧随修饰对象,但是OG中有些题的答案却说分词修饰的主体不明确,像是这里 creating seems to refer back to lying,我在做题的时候经常是在把选项排除到最后两个的时候,具体看分词和从句的时候经常错,感觉找不到一个什么统一的规律;第二,用逗号把主句和分词隔开具体是为了什么?有没有逗号的主要区别是不是限定和非限定呢?分词在句首我觉得还好,放在句末就很难说清楚到底是修饰什么了,看OG答案好像也是一会儿解释正确一会儿又说修饰对象不明确。
