我想问的是E 中giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture怎么样改才不产生修饰上的歧义？     这种分词结构不是修饰前面句子的主语吗？ 难道也可以就近修饰？

这个题正确的应该是D吧？give和creat是并列的结构不存在修饰结构吖~

建议看看manhattan关于modifier那章吧~【，V-ing】这个形式是一个【verb modifier】，它本质上修饰的是动词。只是，它很特殊在于【它在修饰动词的时候，也连带着要求主语是V-ing的句子主语】。所以我们经常说，【，V-ing】结构要求逻辑主语，但是本质上，它还是修饰动词的。
