OG12-128老题新问：关于with

pennmou

128. Australian embryologists have found evidence that suggests that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolving as a kind of snorkel.

(A) that suggests that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolving

(B) that has suggested the elephant descended from an aquatic animal, its trunk originally evolving

(C) suggesting that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal with its trunk originally evolved

(D) to suggest that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal and its trunk originally evolved

(E) to suggest that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal and that its trunk originally evolved

答案是E，没有什么疑问，不理解的是OG对于C的解释，
说的是：with cannot be followed by an independent clause.弱问这句话应该怎么理解呢？望NN指点，谢谢啦！

with后面不能是独立分句。

C中，with后面是"its trunk originally evolved as a kind of snorkel"，这部分就是一个独立分句，就错了。

这样的情况，要么修改evolve的形式，变成介词+名词形式，要么修改with，改成例如and这样能够分隔独立分句的。

请问楼上，E为什么是正确答案呢？D是哪里错？谢谢！

从e中可以看到，its trunk originally evolved 是一个完整独立的句子。而with结构一般是加名词，或者是独立主格结构，是不能加完整的句子的。所以c后半句是错误的。如果你把evolved硬要认为是done，符合独立主格，那么也是逻辑不同，它的trunk怎么可能被进化呢
