找到了:http://www.beatthegmat.com/modifier-issue-expert-t87486.html
in the two choices (d) and (e), "applying..." shouldn't be a modifier at all, because it doesn't actually *modify* anything in the preceding clause -- it gives another, separate aspect of the programs. number one, the families can move into new housing; number two, the families can apply part of the rent to a later purchase. these are different things. so there's really no sense in nitpicking over what it can or can't modify, because it shouldn't be a modifier at all.
also, bear in mind that there is some flexibility here -- if a comma + -ING modifier follows a complex expression that has more than one subject+verb pair, then you may have to use a certain amount of common sense to distinguish what is modified.the modifier still must modify the same rules, but could refer to either of the subject/verb combinations. e.g.i carried a bag containing six incubators that enclosed baby chicks, supporting them with nutrients and heat.here, the comma -ing modifier modifies only the second subject+verb pair. shown in color:i carried a bag containing six incubators that enclosed baby chicks, supporting them with nutrients and heat.VS.i dropped a bag containing six incubators that enclosed baby chicks, breaking two of them and endangering the chicks' lives.here, the comma -ing modifier modifies the entire preceding clause. shown in color:i dropped a bag (containing six incubators that enclosed baby chicks), breaking two of them and endangering the chicks' lives. |
