請問如何排除E選項?
而D選項 reaching是Ving形容詞子句修飾的用法嗎?

D)reaching 修飾邏輯主語

to reach 和 to restrain it 平衡 改變句意

這裡有ing用法總結的筆記
寫的不錯
參考看看
也許能釐清一些觀念

現在分詞伴隨狀語的正反向考法

總論
GMAT語法中常常考查前一個分句的整體對後面一個物件的作用結果，一般認可的正確答案是使用現在分詞做伴隨狀語。另外還有一種應用情況是，兩個動作同時 發生。在平時的語法中，我們常常使用連詞and來連接兩個動作，可是在GMAT語法中常常使用伴隨狀語。老魚在它的講座�舉的一個例子就是：
She is sitting on the tree and reading a book. (一般語法)
She is sitting on the tree, reading a book.(GMAT語法)
所以我們在以下兩個情況下要使用伴隨狀語
1、 前一個分句的整體對後面某一個物件的作用
2、 兩個同時發生的動作
一、正向考法
正向考法就是要你識別出前一個分句是從整體上對後一個分句的賓語發生作用。例如：
He scored 100, making him the best student.
這�的making動作的邏輯主語就是前一個分句的整體。既不是前分句的主語也不是前分句的賓語，所以只可以使用伴隨狀語。
這樣的正向考題非常非常多，ETS給出的干擾選項也非常有規律。
1、 which引導的非限制性定語從句
一般語法中可以使用which指代前面的整個分句，而GMAT語法中不允許。這個選項的干擾性最強。
2、 不定式
考生常常會忽略不定式的邏輯主語是否是句子的主語，所以也有干擾性。不過在GMAT�，似乎沒有看到過逗號以後使用不定式仍然是正確答案的先例（平行對稱結構除外）。
3、 介詞賓語結構
介詞賓語結構不如不定式，如果不是固定搭配最好不要用。
二、反向考法之
既然一個考點可以正向考，如果不反向也考一考就沒有難度了。反向的考法是，當前一個分句本來沒有對後一個分句的賓語造成任何作用，題目卻不斷地引誘你去這樣做。例如：
He went into the classroom and sit on the chair.(邏輯上很合理，只有進了教室才可以坐在椅子上)
ETS的干擾選項：He went into the classroom, sitting on the chair.(邏輯上就很荒謬了，在進教室這個動作發生的時候，他一直坐在椅子上)
He scored 100 in the 1st test and scored 99 in the 2nd test.(邏輯上很合理)
ETS的干擾選項：He scored 100 in the 1st test, scoring 99 in the 2nd test.(邏輯上很荒謬，第一次考了100導致第二次考99)

補一個可以快速刪去E的方法
Continue、hope、result、enable、want、make、allow不用進行時原則
所以看到continuing在不確定的答案內可以先刪掉喔
有錯麻煩大大指正

PP破解說
1. effort to 慣用, 所以砍掉A,B,C
2. continue不會用ing型態, such as continue, hope, recognize, claim and os on. 都不會用ing.
