求指点——判断句首分词结构的逻辑主语 PREP07 - 9

如题,请教各位高手,关于句首分词结构的逻辑主语,怎样判断句子的主语是否正确呢?是看句子的主语能否执行句首的分词行为?还是怎样判断呢?

PREP07有这样一题:
Based on records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress a statue of the goddess Athena and that this robe depicted scenes of a battle between Zeus, Athena's father, and giants.

划线部分是:Based on ……dress

(A) Based on records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress
(B) Based on records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women had collaborated to weave a new woolen robe with which to dress
(C) According to records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress
(D) Records from ancient Athens indicate that each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe with which they dressed
(E) Records from ancient Athens indicate each year young Athenian women had collaborated to weave a new woolen robe for dressing

答案是:D

如果按照“句子主语是否能执行句首分词动作”来判断,women不可能based on,应该是Basing on,这个能理解。那为什么"C"不对呢?
之前Topway的高手们制作的PREP详解中解释说“句子的主语做分词结构的逻辑主语不符合逻辑”,请问是怎么不符合逻辑呢?

关于这道题目,我想表达三点:
(1)关于逻辑主语的问题,LZ已经基本了解逻辑主语这个问题了,所以这道题其实并没有涉及到这一点了。不管是 basing 还是 based 都不可以,因为这句话前面的Based on records from ancient Athens 动作不是 后面的women 发出的,很明显是作者发出的动作,写这句话的作者是在描述record里面的women,而不是women根据record 而发出这一系列的动作的。必须把前面的这个分词改成 介词 according to 或者像D一样变成另外的形式,总之避开这种分词逻辑主语的问题。
(2)C选项定语从句的表达 that they used to dress 不如D选项 with which they dress 简洁,我觉得有具体介词的出现会更具体更informative。
(3)LZ最应该注意的问题不是这些逻辑主语的问题,而是更重要的平行的问题!!!!!这道题为什么不选择C 是因为C选项不平行。 请注意在这句话中是谁和谁在平行,如果lZ误认为是 前面的that they used to dress和 and 后面的that this robe depicted scenes of a battle between Zeus, Athena's father, and giants. 这两个that 从句平行那就大错特错了,因为注意前面that是定语从句,后面的那个that肯定不是定语从句了,因为后面that从句中是完整一句话,不缺成分,所以应该是同位语从句或者宾语从句凳。
如果你再看一下D选项很明显你就知道哪里平行了。
Records from ancient Athens indicate that each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe with which they dressed  a statue of the goddess Athenaand that this robe depicted scenes of a battle between Zeus, Athena's father, and giants.

这是两个that宾语从句在平行所以D是正确答案。
