14. 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

  ？？？？？Rising inventories是现在分词短语做主语（和从句做主语一样），谓语动词应该单数。为什么要与 inventories单复数一致呢？

rising inventories这个词的核心意思是inventories，rising作adj修饰inventories，表"上升的存货....."，而你所说的动名词是inventories rising,核心意思是“存货上升这个情况”，前者谓语动词与inventories一致，后者与inventories rising整体一致
