A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass, a star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
After passing through a red giant stage, a star’s mass will determine if it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
Mass determines whether a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
The mass of a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will determine whether it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
首先AB选项，depending on mass这个状语，就近修饰的是动词pass，语义变成，星星能不能通过红巨星阶段是取决于质量的，这个语义通过前文来判定是不对的，应该是 星星会压缩成后面3种的哪一种取决于质量，CE选项，passing的逻辑主语是mass，错误
D选项，正确。
语义：质量决定了一颗恒星在经过红巨星阶段后，是否会把自己压缩成白矮星、中子星或黑洞。
ron: choice b contains an unacceptable ambiguity: the modifying phrase 'depending on its mass' is clearly supposed to what the star is doing, but, in choice b, it could technically also refer to passing through a red giant stage. (in other words, one could read the sentence as though the star's passing through a red giant stage depends upon the star's mass).
即不是谁的mass的问题而是depending在可能变成修饰从句的动词，不知道有没有回答到你的问题
那種跟在後面的插入句或補語 會對應到最近的主詞 去看看是不是修飾正確來辨別選項
B 选项中的错误在于“After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass,”意思是，star是通过红矮星来决定变化的，与提议不符
星星主动取决于自身质量，这是存在一定问题的。星星是否会坍缩成白矮星或黑洞，这一事件才是取决于质量的
B：red giant stage 是 depending 前唯一的名词，会被认为是指代的这个，句意就不对了
AB: it is not clear what the modifying phrase depending on mass is supposed to modify. Because of its placement, it appears to modify red giant stage; it should, however, modify star. CE:the star itself passes through the red giant stage, not its mass.
B 选项， its有歧义，可能代指前面的red giant stage, 也可能代表star本身
B，depending on its mass里的its可以指代到a red giant stage，歧义；相比D，B把after、depending一大堆甩在句子最前面，语意重点star被甩到了后面，弱化了重点，没有D好。
B 中的 a star不能做depend的主语，应该是Whether 变成xxx做depend on主语，如果改成the possibility of compressing...就能做depend on主语
错选B 这里its语法上指代stage 逻辑上指代star 有误
It的指代问题
我 刚刚
想问大家一个问题：求解答！
现在分词做状语表伴随，其逻辑主语一定要和主句的主语一致 如果 不一致 现在分词必须 加上自己的逻辑主语 构成独立主格结构 那就不是伴随主语了。这里的depending已经是一个伴随状语了，也没有加逻辑主语，为什么不能默认是跟主语保持一致呢？
这个逻辑的话，怎么排除AB中的depending on mass呢？

comma+doing除了可以做伴随状语，也可以做定语或状语，A：把depending on看成前一个动词的状语， after the star passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass，穿还是不穿取决于质量能读通；把它看成定语修饰a red giant stage, depending on mass，一个取决于体积的红巨过程，也能读通；说明depending on用得不好
要让depending on明确修饰star，就要利用有逻辑关系的两部分尽量靠近的规则来构建句子，或者像D这样写，完全无歧义

我感觉b选项这个depending on its mass只能指代的是a star，因为如果它是修饰前面的a red giant stage，前面应该不用“，”
另外这种动名词只能修饰逐句的主语，如果它是和前一句在一起的话，他修饰的就是省略的a star；如果它是和后面在一起的话，还是修饰a star
这个句子的句意主要想表明mass会影响compress，不应该用这种插入语的形式
个人的一点愚见，还望各位大神指正
whether 是从句，所以D选项后面状语从句省略的主语就是star
B里面depending on its mass，前面有a red giant stage，后面有star，修饰哪一个？指代不清。这个问题不要再错啦！

itself=> the star
n+itself
