PREP2－45

A recent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views; i.e., they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health care, education, and the environment.

(A) they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting

(B) they denounce big government--they say that government is doing too much and has become too powerful--but supporting at the same time

(C) they denounce big government, they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time

(D) while they denounce big government, saying that government is doing too much and has become too powerful, at the same time supporting

(E) while they are denouncing big government--they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful-- supporting at the same time

此题选A
saying that...在这里应该是做状语修饰they denounce。可是还有作定语修饰government的可能啊，这里没有歧义吗？一直没有搞懂doing修饰。。

一个句子以一个名词结尾，逗号，紧跟doing；这个doing的动作发出者有三种可能，一个是首句结尾的名词(doing作为修饰语)，一个是首句的主语(doing作为伴随状语，例如表方式)，一个是首句整句(doing作为伴随状语，例如表结果)；所以不能以此判断是否正确。
此题可以通过排除其他选项来选出A，B选项say和supporting不对称，C选项句子与句子间没有连词，D选项while引导从句，主句出现supporting，无谓语；E选项while引导从句，无主句。

讲的很详细，谢谢！还想问一下，那就是说不能通过ving修饰来作为判断了，可是我记得有的题是通过这个来排除的

我的建议是：当你看到一个句子以一个名词结尾，逗号，紧跟doing，不要先判断doing的发出者以试图接受或排除该选项；而是应该看看该选项中有无其他可与其他选项比较的东西，因为这个结构中的doing可能有多种语法解释，情况比较复杂。
