OG 205

[dibert8]

(C) 是這樣看: crests and troughs {that remmain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly}, is
although 的主要子句是 crests and troughs remmain stationary
(E) 的 although 找不到對應的的主要子句.

OG 的解釋:
Choice E uses the correct verb form, is, but it incorrectly introduces a dependent adverbial although clause into a prepositional phrase (with crests ... ). Choice D also makes this error. Such dependent clauses can only occur in the predicates of full clauses.

[lichard]

The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as “standing waves.”

(A) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are

(B) crests and troughs that remain stationary although they are formed by rapidly moving air, are

(C) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, is

(D) stationary crests and troughs although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are

(E) stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air, is

答案是(C)

我想問的 是,從答案C來看the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly
with應該是帶領一個 獨立主格的 結構
但從獨立主格的原則看來
邏輯緊密型獨立主格：with+名詞+名詞/形容詞/分詞/介詞
本題中我不知道是應用上面哪項規則?? 請各位高手幫忙!!

[dibert8]

with 的結構在這一句不是獨立主格(沒有動詞,無法成句)
with crests and troughs {that ...} 結構在文法上只有 with + N (介係詞片語), 修飾最靠近的字 pattern.
獨立主格修飾整個句子.
