对于Ron在manhattan上对于GWD-9-Q17的解释有自己的疑问，求讨论

题目贴出Unlike most other mergers in the utility industry, which have been driven by the need to save money and extend companies’ service areas, the merger of the nation’s leading gas and electric company is intended to create a huge marketing network for the utilities in question with states opening their utility markets to competition.


(A) and electric company is intended to create a huge marketing network for the utilities in question with states opening

(B) and electric companies are intended to create a huge network for marketing the utilities in question as states open

(C) and electric companies are intended to create a huge network that will be marketing the utilities in question, with states opening

(D) company and electric company are intending to create a huge marketing network for the utilities in question, with states opening

(E) company and leading electric company is intended to create a huge network for marketing the utilities in question as states open

前面的解释都很认同，已经能够得到答案E了（谓语为is排除bcd,merger必须是两个公司才能合并排除a），不过对于A为什么错误的第二点解释有疑问。
* "with states opening..." is incorrect. when you have an -ING WITHOUT COMMA modifier, like this one, it's a RESTRICTIVE ("essential") modifier. this means that we're only talking about those states that are "opening their utility markets to competition", the implication being that only some states are doing so. the intended meaning is better conveyed by "as states open..."
这里的with states opening 难道不可以是with+n+宾补的伴随状语么，这样opening就不是states的restictive modifier了啊。
