I am confused. When we remove extra information from a sentence, shouldn`t we remove it with comma?
Here "economic experts say" is an extra information, and if we remove it from sentence with the commas associated, then the Verb+ing modifier (providing) has no comma left.
Realy need help, Please reply...
Hi,
Please try to make your understanding as simple as possible. Here the main subject is "The benefits". The benefits are far reaching , [HOW] 1. Providing a powerful.. and 2. Expanding...
these are two ing modifiers which should point to the subject of main clause to provide the extra information.
B : it incorrect subject reference.
C : Changes the meaning ( new subject vehicle, verbs chip and expand).
D : while introduces simultaneous actions so debilitating the meaning. it (refers to the vehicle again.)
E : we need to join two ideas referring to a subject with and/aswell as/and also, due to which the construction is ambiguous.
