D的"writing about it"是个dangler modifier，后面应尽跟其修饰的historians而不是"it is..."

sumerlaws

谢谢诶，那是不是如果前面出现没有指代的介词都要紧跟名词啊？

hedgeforfu

“那是不是如果前面出现没有指代的介词都要紧跟名词啊？、”，不太明白你的意思。。。

sumerlaws

就是马上要个writing about it的主语？

hedgeforfu

一般分词修饰语在句首，后面一句的主语就应该是发出分词动作的主语，没错。例如:
对：Having finished the assignment, Jill turned on the TV.
错：Having finished the assignment, the TV was turned on.

sumerlaws

就是一句句子前半句如果用分词的话，后面要马上接上它的逻辑主语，而不能用IT 来代替啊？、
