49. The cameras of the Voyager II spacecraft detected six small, previously unseen moons circling Uranus, which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting the distant planet.
(A) which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting
(B) doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known to orbit
(C) which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known in orbit around
(D) doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting
(E) which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known that orbit
选B, 此处的ing是做结果状语的我明白,可是哪怕做结果状语也要apply to the subject to the preceding clause, 这里的subject是cameras,明显 不通啊==!!引用baby姐回复过我的“如果ing在句尾表示结果状语的话,ing前面有逗号,要求applies to the subject of that clause“”修饰的是前面整个clause,clause=subject+verb,所以当然要apply to subject了“
我看了baby和RON的说法,我的理解是这个样子的,ving——apply to S的含义是保证ving与S之间有一定的逻辑关系,而什么是逻辑关系,一种是S必须可以发出ving这个动作,就是我们所说的伴随状语,ving伴随着V发生,且都是有S发出的;一种是ving这个动作与S发出V之间有直接的因果逻辑关系,也就是S做出V这个动作,直接导致ving这个结果,这也是一种S与ving之间的逻辑关系,而这个ving结果只是preceding clause直接导致的,而不是S发出的。
