A team of scientists has recently provided evidence of Earth being bombarded daily with as many as 40,000 small comets, vaporizing in the upper atmosphere to fall to Earth as rain.

(A) of Earth being bombarded daily with as many as 40,000 small
comets, vaporizing in the upper atmosphere to
(B) of Earth's being daily bombarded with as many as 40,000 small
comets, vaporizing in the upper atmosphere and that
(C) that as much or more than 40,000 small comets daily bombard
Earth, vaporizing in the upper atmosphere, and
(D) that daily Earth is bombarded with as much or more than
40,000 small comets that vaporize in the upper atmosphere
and that
(E) that Earth is bombarded daily with as many as 40,000 small
comets that vaporize in the upper atmosphere and

這題答案是E
我想問的是,B選項後半段 vaporizing in the upper atmosphere to 這段分辭構句
我一般看到題目出現這樣的分辭構句時,常在想,他 !.可以修飾前面主句 2.可以修飾離他最近的名詞.
但是並沒有一個準則可以告訴我他到底是要擇1還是選2. 當然我想這是可以從句意中去判斷,但是常常在做修辭題目時,沒有辦法清楚了解題意.
像這題,如果我把它當作修飾comets時,句意上是通的,但是他同時又有可能休是前面主句的可能,所以發生"歧意"的感覺,但是如果題目都照這樣判斷的話,那不是所有以分辭結構的題目都錯嗎?

不好意思喔,小弟我表達能力不是很好,寫的超囉嗦的.但是這個問題一直困擾我.
還請大大們幫個忙,謝謝.

(B) of Earth's being daily bombarded with as many as 40,000 small comets, vaporizing in the upper atmosphere and that
1. Earth 不用 's 表示所有格, 2. '所有格+Ving' 必錯, 3. vaporizing 修飾 team 句意不合理, 4. and 兩端不平衡, 5. that 指啥?

像這樣的結構, 99% 的機會 vaporizing 是修飾前句,主詞是 team.
