[quote="egmat"]President Clinton spent significant money on the “No Child Left Behind” program in several school districts throughout the country, which led to a boom in the school construction industry and also added thousands of jobs for teachers and support staff.
A. which led to a boom in the school construction industry and also added
B. which not only led to a boom in the school construction industry, but also added
C. not only leading to a boom in the school construction industry but also adding
D. leading to a boom in the school construction industry, which also added
E. leading to a boom in the construction industry of school, which added
in A and B, which has not antecedent. wrong. "which" which is used to refer to previous action in main clause is wrong
between C and D
in D, which can grammatically refer to boom, but this is not logic. boom in construction can not make job for teachers/student
so leading can modify the spent.
D is correct

Ok, this was a good question and I learned to watch out for what "which" is modifying, however, for me the primary lesson is not to bring outside information into a question- even the most obvious kind.
It was driving me crazy because President Bush, not President Clinton, proposed, signed into law in 2002 and spent significant money on the No Child Left Behind Act. I know this is totally unrelated to the SC issue we are learning, but every time I had to re-read the question to analyze it, I got distracted! I must say though that it was good practice to keep telling myself not to bring in outside information no matter how accurate and just concentrate on the grammar, however difficult.

Except present participle modifier (modifier starting with verb-ing), the modifier touch rule applies to most cases - i.e., a modifier should touch the noun it modifies. However a present participle modifier may refer to an entire clause or the subject of the preceding clause. In this question, the various modifiers starting with "which" wrongly refer to the respective nouns they touch:
A. which wrongly refers to country.
B. which wrongly refers to country.
D. which wrongly refers to industry.
E. which wrongly refers to school.
Only in option C 2 parallel present participle modifiers are used (leading to... and adding... ) - these 2 modifiers correctly refer to the entire preceding clause President Clinton spent .... districts throughout the country
. Please help with my analysis
