Almost a decade after New York State passed laws to protect patients by reducing the grueling hours worked by medical residents, twelve hospitals have been investigated by state medical officials, finding that all twelve consistently break the laws, many residents work longer than 24 hours straight, and that more than half the surgical residents work more than 95 hours a week.
Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged in 1911, Scott Joplin’s ragtime operaTree monisha was not produced until 1972, sixty-one years after its completion. (A) Except for a concert performance that the composer himselfstaged (B) Except for a concert performance with the composer himselfstaging it (C) Besides a concert performance being staged by the composerhimself (D) Excepting a concert performance that the composer himself staged (E) With the exception of a concert performance with the staging done by the composer himself

答案是C B中的with放在句末，用逗号隔开，是做状语修饰 an investigation 还是做定语修饰hours，我知道两个修饰都不对，但是每次遇到末尾的都不知道修饰什么，求赐教？ 顺便问一下，D中的who是不是应该改成whom修饰officials啊？ 而E中的of twelve hospitals怎么看都觉得位置放得不对，无法解释，是这样么？

quote： with：
Now let’s talk about the comma + with modifiers. So here we are talking about prepositional phrases. “with” modifiers are very versatile modifiers. They can modify either the preceding clause or the preceding nouns. What they modify actually depends on the context of the sentence and the wording of the modifier itself.
Bihar is India's poorest state, with an annual per capita income of $111.
In this sentence, with modifier actually modifies the preceding noun. With modifier in this sentence has the following sense. Notice how “which has” can be understood to replace “with”. India’s poorest state, which has an annual per capita income of $111
However, this modifier can be understood to modify the subject of the clause as well because of the nature of the verb - is. This is a linking verb, which establishes the following relationship: Bihar = India’s poorest state.
Now lets consider a scenario in which “with” modifier modifies the preceding clause. This is a GMATPrep Question. You can find the detailed solution of this question at this link.
Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging like socks on a clothesline.
The comma +with modifier above modifies the preceding clause. In essence this sentence can be written as two separate sentences:
1. Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches. 2. Their arms and legs are hung like socks on a clothesline.
So sentence 2 has been converted into with modifier. This modifier extends the thought of the preceding clause by providing a detail supporting it.
Now if the above sounds very complicated, then do not worry about it. As long as you know that these modifiers are versatile and hence can modify preceding clause and preceding nouns, you would be fine. Let the meaning of the sentence guide you. You should understand the meaning of the sentence and ensure that one of these roles fit well.
D.who is right （ it is the subject of a new clause）
E.of twelve hospital is a misplaced modifier； it should be placed after an investigation （ to identify what exactly the investigation is talking about）
Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged in 1911, Scott Joplin’s ragtime operaTree monisha was not produced until 1972, sixty-one years after its completion. (A) Except for a concert performance that the composer himselfstaged (B) Except for a concert performance with the composer himselfstaging it (C) Besides a concert performance being staged by the composerhimself (D) Excepting a concert performance that the composer himself staged (E) With the exception of a concert performance with the staging done by the composer himself 而且这个with是不加逗号的那种，怎么解释
