OG13-14 主语为什么是inventories

王Alcal1011

Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.


(A) when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead
(B) when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads
(C) when they were unaccompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead
(D) if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads
(E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead


B,C被快速排除，OG的原因是主语是inventories,是复数，后面谓语用了leads不行。
根据意思这里应该不是"inventories"本身 导致后面的production cutbacks吧，我觉得是rising inventories这个增加的动作导致的吧。
如果把rising inventories这个看成主语，根据Manhattan第5版218页，这个叫simple gerund phrase,后面接单数谓语。
书上还给了个例子：Tracking satellites accurately is important for the space agency.
