求助OG12 86 中with的用法
#86
The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits, which increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after it fell over the last two years.
(A) which increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after it fell
(B) which had increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after it had fallen
(C) which have increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after falling
(D) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after falling
(E) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after having fallen
正确选项是C 但是我这里对D选项有疑问~
with。。。这里能不能作为more information 来具体说说 前面的measures are evident呢？
RON说到，
in this sentence, we don't want an adverbial modifier, since it doesn't make any sense for this modifier to apply to the entire preceding clause. rather, we want a modifier that will only modify the noun at the end of the preceding clause (i.e., "profits"). since this is the exact function of a "which" modifier, that's the modifier we want here.这一点是如何确定的呢？我觉得补充说明前面的句子也是说得通的呢。。。有木有什么判断标准呢？还是全凭语感？
后来又有一个instructor给出D的另一个错误点，我觉得说的很对。
1.Upon further review, I'll even say this - what is the subject of the verb "falling" in D? We haven't set up "profits" as a subject (as we did with "which" as a reflexive pronoun in C), so D has an unclear meaning - what fell?
2. "with" in D should have a meaning as something that joins two things, so it seems like it would link "are evident in its profits...with an increase", making "profits" and "an increase" as two separate and equivalent items...and that's an illogical meaning because the "increase" doesn't have a clear number or value in that case. You can't simply have "an increase" - that increase has to be attached to a number, a figure, etc. So the word "with" in D introduces a lack of clarity throughout the underlined portion - the increase is vague and the verb "falling" has no subject. D is incorrect on several counts.
但是如果忽略这个错误点，求解释上面那个with为什么不能修饰前面的句子呢？
看到这里我想到了#29题，里面提到with的用法：
"with modifier"（"with modifier"都是针对前面紧挨着它的名词或动作，来给出illustration.）
以及由此引申出了#63，也说道with的用法 其中举出了猴子的例子
Now lets consider a scenario in which “with” modifier modifies the preceding clause. This is a GMATPrep Question. You can find the detailed solution of this question at this link.
Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging like socks on a clothesline.
The comma +with modifier above modifies the preceding clause. In essence this sentence can be written as two separate sentences:
1. Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches.
2. Their arms and legs are hung like socks on a clothesline.
So sentence 2 has been converted into with modifier. This modifier extends the thought of the preceding clause by providing a detail supporting it.
这里就说到，后面的with是补充说明前面的句子，这里与86题的补充说明有什么不同么？感觉这两个句子很像呀，怎么来判定什么时候是补充说明，什么时候不是补充说明呢？ |
