Dear RonPurewal DmitryFarber AjiteshArun AnthonyRitz GMATGuruNY IanStewart GMATNinja MartyTargetTestPrep ccooley VeritasPrepBrian egmat,
When V-ing modifier is in the middle of a sentence and in between a comma pair, is that modifier a noun or adverbial modifier?
According to https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/foru ... 49-45.html, RonPurewal said it is an adverbial modifier modifying the whole clause
However, according to https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/foru ... t6878.html, RonPurewal said it is a noun modifier.
Why can't the underlying portion modify the whole clause -- that is, "policy makers at the FR are almost certain to..."?
(Because policy makers view the economy as balanced, they are certain to leave rates unchanged -> IMO, this perfectly makes sense!)
I'm very confused here.
Please share your thoughts on this!

From the GMATPrep OA, Many financial experts believe that policy makers at the Federal Reserve, now viewing the economy as balanced between moderate growth and low inflation, are almost certain to leave interest rates unchanged for the foreseeable future.
Why can't the underlying portion modify the whole clause -- that is, "policy makers at the FR are almost certain to..."?

I don't see why Ron would describe "now viewing . . . " as a noun modifier. It makes perfect sense as an adverbial modifier that situates the expected action.
