The results of the company’s cost-cutting measures
are evident in its profi ts, which increased 5 percent
during the fi rst 3 months of this year after it fell over
the last two years.
(A) which increased 5 percent during the fi rst
3 months of this year after it fell
(B) which had increased 5 percent during the fi rst
3 months of this year after it had fallen
(C) which have increased 5 percent during the fi rst
3 months of this year after falling
(D) with a 5 percent increase during the fi rst
3 months of this year after falling
(E) with a 5 percent increase during the fi rst
3 months of this year after having fallen
我有两个疑问：1.with是一般最好不用么，能否在帮我解释一下D.E的错误在哪里
2.after having fallen 这种说法错么？ OG上未提到作者: Flnforever 时间: 2012-4-24 20:41
这个题我我的理解是这样的
with 有两种用法：
(1)with+n 的介宾短语做状语或定语
(2)with+n+-ing/-ed/adj/介宾短语等做独立主格结构。独立主格只做状语，表伴随，仅用于修饰主谓宾结构主句的谓语动词。如 The murderer was brought in, with his hands tied behind his back。
