求教SVO,V-ing，的V-ing是否可以修饰O

田田小白

通常，SVO,V-ing的这种情形，v-ing是修饰前面整句句子。
不过如果从句意上理解，v-ing是修饰前面句子的宾语（即可以还原为SVO，which do），是不是就是错的？
如下题，
In some species of cricket, the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve as an approximate thermometer.

• Afor attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve
• Bfor attracting females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, which can in fact serve
• Cin attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving
• Dto attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and it can in fact serve
• Eto attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving
  

这里D为正确答案，和E的区别除了从情态动词判断外，我认为E是错在serving，serving应该修饰前面整个句子而非number,不知这个判错点是否正确。

由此，我想确认下，v-ing是否可以直接修饰最近的宾语？

comma+Ving一般修饰前句动词，逻辑主语为主句主语，有特殊情况，但是我认为一般不会考

一般情况，逗号+现代分词位于句末优先考虑做结果状语，修饰整个句子，主句的谓语动词和主句的主语；检查的时候一般看是否与主句真存在一种因果关系，然后看两者时态是否一致；如果时态不一致，那么就只能作为一个不必要的名词的修饰成分，就近修饰前面的名词
