364. In A.D. 391, resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria, later generations lost all but the Iliad and Odyssey among Greek epics, most of the poetry of Pindar and Sappho, and dozens of plays by Aeschylus and Euripides.
(A) resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria,
(B) the destroying of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria resulted and
(C) because of the result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,
(D) as a result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,
(E) Alexandria's largest library of the ancient world was destroyed, and the result was
正确答案是D选项，白大侠在最初解释A选项时说，介词短语at Alexandria可以修饰the largest library 也可以修饰the ancient world，从而使句子意思产生歧义。
我个人认为at Alexandria只是个地点状语，不存在修饰谁的问题。对于A的不合理，白大侠在后面的解释时就解释的很好了：-ing分词短语resulting from在句首，逻辑主语等于主句主语later generations，later generations result from the destruction of ..逻辑意思不合理。
请各位大侠对我的观点批评指正！谢谢！！！

'at Alexandria' is not a adverbial, it is a modifier.

什么意思？我还是不明白，请详细阐述

在A中'at Alexandria'是名词修饰语，修饰ancient world。造成歧义。

在答案 A中'at Alexandria'会引起歧义，那在正确的D中 the destruction of the library at Alexandria，'at Alexandria'不是也会有修饰destruction还是library的歧义呢？？？

疑惑
