[求助]sc 难题

Five fledgling sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer, bringing to 34 the number of wild birds successfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.
(A)bringing
(B)and brings
(C)and it brings
(D)and it brought
(E)and brought

选A还是选E呢？这里since引导的时间转语从句，前面为什么不用having brought或have brought呢？

谢谢？

A.现在分词PHASE表示伴随的结果.

primefang

如果用bringing, 表示，离开nests 的结果是 生了34个birds
强调了内在的联系，所以比E ，从句子的构成上来说要好

至于，since, 我觉得表结果只有用ing 一种形式，所以不存在 having or have

欢迎讨论

多谢二位的解答。
另外，请问promefang, 为什我无法发信帖子了呢，总说语法错误，也好，贴在下面吧，还请大家指点：

Analysts blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, （colder and wetter than was usual in some regions. which slowed） sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.
(A)colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed
(B)which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing
(C)since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed
(D)being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowing
(E)having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed

答案是B，可是这里为什么要用usual,C，D中的usually为什么不对呢？

谢谢！

还有一道：

The colorization of black-and-white films by
computers is defended by those who own the film rights, for the process can mean increased revenues for them; many others in the film industry, however, contend that the technique degrades major works of art, which they liken to putting lipstick on a Greek statue.
(A)which they liken to putting lipstick on a Greek statue
(B)which they liken to a Greek statue with lipstick put on it
(C)which they liken to lipstick put on a Greek statue
(D)likening it to a Greek statue with lipstick put on it
(E)likening it to putting lipstick on a Greek statue

答案是E，可是E中的it, 之前有两个单数名词art, technique, 这样的话代词的指代不是不唯一了吗？

就算是就近指代，也应该指代art呀，可是指代art, 逻辑上与说不同啊？

代词的用法常常把我搞得晕头转向，清XDJM们帮忙指点一二，多谢！

tony01：
1、usual ： usual weather
2、代词的指带问题：请大家再讨论。

1.than usual你可以看成是一个固定搭配
2.偶现在看到代词就头大  //怕怕呀
这儿的it指代technique而不是art
因为名词短语major works of art中的中心词是works，而不是art，应该看成是复数名词
我认为不存在指代问题

可是有不少例句中，代词时可以指代后置定语的中的名词，而非该词组中的中心词啊：例举如下：
The social games of children help to prepare them for their adult roles. –Toefl例句: them就近指代作后置定语的children

Since 1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.
--they之前有两个复数名词fees, officers, 但由就近指代原则知they只能指代较近的officers，虽然officers在这里是后置定语，看来后置定语的限制并非很严格，与前置定语不同,这样讲对吗？
