[問題]OG - Q12

以爬過置頂文,無討論到這一篇

After gradual declesion down to about 39 hours in
1970, the workweek in the United States has steadily
increased to the point that the average worker now
puts in an estimated 164 extra hours of paid labor a
year.

(B)Following a gradual declension down
(C)After gradual declining down
(D)After gradual declining
(E)Following gradual declining

答案是D,我選E(其他可判別不需討論)

OG上的解釋是說
D Correct. In the sentence, after gradually declining is clear, correct, concise, and idiomatic.
E Phrase must be introduced by a preposition(after), not a participle(following)

我E的解釋看不懂,翻譯成中文是說,片語可以被介詞帶出來,而不可以被分詞帶出來
一整個不懂他在解釋什麼

動辭接動名詞在句首...你會不會覺得這種句子很白痴?
我舉個例子...
Liking going to the movies, S+V+......
這種句子你有看過嗎?不需要用文法解釋.......你也知道這樣的句子很白痴吧?
OG的解釋是片語應該用介詞引導...
