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E

likening是由many others 发出，还是表伴随结果呢

我觉得likening应该由人发出才对，但分词在句末就会有歧义诶~

请指教~~谢谢大家

对的，likening修饰的是many others contend这个句子，而不是the technique degrades

major works of art。

从本题中可以看出来，状语从句不一定是修饰临近的主谓宾结构，有可能是修饰整句的。需要

看逻辑，还有非常重要的一点是，只要句子写得不会让读者有感觉迷惑就可以。就如本题，E

选项中likening后面跟出了it，足以说明likening的动作发出这不是it的antecedent?the

technique，让读者一目了然，那么这个状语从句修饰的不是最近的这个主谓宾结构也就没问

题了。

我很明白啦哈哈~谢谢LZ~
感觉在我所做题目里 “句末，-ing”形式一般都是表伴随，结果，没有就近修饰~貌似
