求问OG13 SC132新问题！拜托NN们指教！

132. Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year—they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises—heirlooms are more flavorful and thus in increasing demand.

(A) Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year

(B) Although heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins

(C) Although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year

(D) Grown from seeds saved during the previous year, heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins

(E) Heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins

这个问题其实之前已经有前辈们问过了，但是其中OG的两个解释还是不甚清晰，所以想请nn们帮忙。
OG中对D的解释：1.Beginning the sentence with the explanatory clause grown from seeds … gives it too much importance. It could be construed as the reason why heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing, which is contrary to the truth.这句话是什么意思呢？ 2. The sentence is also ungrammatical. 为什么说这句话是ungrammatical的呢？grown的这个modifier是不是不能够修饰although+SVO中的主语呢？

求大家帮忙解答！先谢过 : )

1）以Grown from seeds saved during the previous year开头的话，说明的了heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing是因为Grown from seeds saved during the previous year，但是原意需要的只是用Grown这个clause来解析heirllom tomatoes，不过我觉得这个不算选项硬伤。
2）D中的ungramatical，因为heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins...heirlooms are more flavorful and thus in increasing demand.;两个独立句子连接在一起了，他们之间缺少了连词。这属于D选项的硬伤。

谢谢你 : ) 我理解你的意思啦
不过呢 在1）中的这个grown开头，在其它的题目里意思也普遍适用吗？怎么没觉得做过modifier，svo然后modifier表示原因的例子呢。

我也是第一次遇到这题，这就是为何我觉得1）不属于硬伤的原因，嘿嘿。所以建议从硬伤2）排除
其他的例子等以后遇到了，给你举出来：）

嗯哪~~~ 谢谢你啦~！~！~！

这个题当时想了很久才试着排除了D，多了分号搞得不知道连词是不是必要的了。。

还是要连词的，你把分号的内容当成是插入语就可以了。或者你用逗号代替它。

    我找到类似的根据了：），在第三点。
Participles can be used as adverb. They can describe:
1)two actions happening at the same time
eg:She sat by the fire reading a book
2)two actions that happen one after another.
eg:Opening his case, he took out a gun.
If it is important to show that the first action is completed before the second action begins, we use the perfect participle.
eg:Having finished lunch, we set off on our journey.
Having had a shower, she got dressed.
3)two actions that happen one because of another.
Being stingy, he never bought anyone a Christmas present.
Not knowing what to do, I waited patiently.

我觉得还是要根据句意来看是不是一个动作因为另一个动作发生的
born in GZ，Obama is a leader
按OG的意思就是如果不是出生在GZ，奥巴马就当不了领导了？
所以我觉得还是要根据具体的题目吧，
虽然说有这个根据，但是并不是说是一个万金油能都套上去，而只是说有这个可能，即有的题目可以这么理解。

我感觉OG的意思就是因为有这种理解(一个动作是另一个发生的原因)的歧义，它就单纯解释了一下这种情况下grown就变成appear发生的原因了，所以不用纠结（感觉OG对错误的选项的解释有时候并不是通用的，只是它解释了一下它认定的错误）
其实你读几遍确实也会觉得有grown是appear发生的原因的感觉= =

D主要的错误就是去掉了although，改变了原句的逻辑关系，而且dash前后连接了两个完整的句子，所以OG说它ungrammatical（别的句子里正是因为有连词although所以可以有谓语动词）
