关于现在分词在后面修饰的问题

10. Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area. (B-p142-16)   ???????????

2. The proposed health care bill would increase government regulation of health insurance, establishing standards that would guarantee wider access to people with past health problems and to workers who are changing jobs and otherwise could be uncovered for months.(D-P44-8)??


9. To ensure consistently high quality in its merchandise, the chain of retail stores became involved in every aspect of its suppliers’ operations, dictating not only the number of stitches and the width of the hem in every garment but also the profit margins of those suppliers. (B-p84-12) ?

这个不知道后置的分词结构是不是有修饰后面的名词的歧义这里都是做状语修饰的
怎么区分？修饰的对象是前面的主语来做状语，还是后面的名词？

5. As the price of gasoline rises, making alcohol distilled from cereal grain an attractive substitute, the price of bread and livestock feed are sure to increase. (B-p76-9)?

这个又是修饰谁啊？

10、不是分词。是名词。
2、表示伴随的结果。
9、后面的名词。运作。
5、是表示the price of gasoline rises导致的结果。

我有一个问题
比如Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area
如果在分词finding前加了象thus这样的词，答案是不是肯定错？

加thus没有现在直接表达好，因为这里是补充说明。有时加的题目（本题除外），只要逻辑上没错、语意清晰，还是可取的。ETS让咱们选的是最好的，并不是一定对的。
