HIGH-GMAT一题请教：

liushiyou

Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sales of oil into a special[U]< fund, with the intention to sustain the state's economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves.>[/U]
---------
C. fund intended to sustain the state's economy after oil reserves are exhausted.
------------
正确答案为C。给出的解释为：答案A不够简练。请问：
---------------------------------
1. A中的“with the intention to sustain the state's economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves”是修饰fund，还是修饰整个逗号前面这一部分？

个人认为应该是“Alaska的这一行为”而不是“fund”能够达到sustain the state's economy的目的。
----------
谢谢！

我的理解是这样：

A不对，一是因为不够简练；二加了逗号之后，with the intention to 可能是修饰前面整个句子，也可能是修饰主句主语Alaska，修饰模糊，但都不是修饰fund。三its oil reserves中的its 也指代不明。

C中intended to紧跟fund，是修饰fund。结构简练，过去分词表示这个fund的作用是如下这样这样。。。

不知道我的意思表达清楚没。[em08]
