raising 的主詞是 Swiss government panel, 所以是 Swiss government panel 恐慌

[阿琪]

思考用法：
__________, raising ....
其中的 Ving在逗號之後是要修飾前面的整個句子，並表達出一種狀態~(在此題為提昇raising)

因此，raising 是修飾 "A Swiss government panel recommended that the country sell about half of its gold reserves"

也就是 "瑞士政府建議銷售掉一半的黃金存量" raising 了其它國家的恐懼

並不是只是在修飾 Swiss government panel (畢竟 panel就能引起恐懼，有點搭不上)
也不僅是在修飾 the country sell about half of its gold reserves (如果有人說只修飾這個，在理解上仍是可通的，只是理論上須更嚴謹)
而是在修飾整句：A Swiss government panel recommended that the country sell about half of its gold reserves

參考

B. reserves, which, as a result, raised fears of other countries that
C. reserves; as a result, they feared that other countries would
D. reserves, with fears raised that other countries would
E. reserves, raising fears that other countries would

答案E

請問 would 在此處的用法該如何判斷呢

個人意見, 大家參考看看
句意來看是 賣黃金這整件事引起恐懼. 要注意raise的主詞指誰
(A) 用this代替整句, 不可, 另外, of other countries that sell. 句意怪怪的, 應該是引起其他國家的恐懼而去賣黃金, 而非, 引起賣黃金國家的恐懼. 有點前因後果的關係.
(B) which修飾reserves, reserves引起恐懼. 錯誤
(C) they前面沒有複數名詞可帶.
(D) with我個人通常是解釋伴隨一起發生的動作. 如果這樣解釋的話, 在其他國家產生恐懼賣黃金的時候, Swiss一起賣黃金. 句意也怪怪的 (p.s with選項再在SC的答案中很難對, 個人目前的感想)
(E) 用分詞片語表因果關係, 前面是因(整句事情), 後面是果 (ETS愛用的句型之一), other countries would表示推測可能, 句意應該是正確.

選(E).
