分词作后置定语修饰名词是最简洁有效的表达方式，不定式作定语容易产生修饰歧义，因为不定式通常用来作状语表示目的，其逻辑主语可能是句子主语

(b) = correct the participle "investigating" follows "experiments" immediately. no filler words are necessary; this is good concision. the wording is clear; there are no awkward double possessives, etc., as in some of the other choices. "would" is used properly here, as a past-tense form of "will". (i.e., if this sentence were translated into the present tense, it would read "...that changes ... will have")

investigating 与experiments之间没有逗号，所以这是就近修饰experiments的，而非伴随状语。所以没有歧义

Investigating 做实验的定语

experiments后面接doing作为修饰成分，effects在后面的定语从句中做宾语，而不是做主语，所以不要把changes误解为动词单数，那样就很容易误排该选项；因为是比较靠后的题目了，所以在时间不充足的情况下，很容易就选错

investigating修饰experiment, investigating the effects that changes... would have on .. performance.

notes中没有说错，that从句作为定从修饰effects，后面的on workers' performance也是修饰effects的。即 the effects （that changes in working conditions would have） on workers' performance 这就类似the book that you buy之类的从句，从句的主语为changes，谓语是would have。

a 看到their感觉可能有歧义 前面有 很多复数名词 指代不清 b v-ing 做后置定语 肯定是修饰experiments cd 混乱 e to do 没有ing好 不定式通常用来作状语表示目的，其逻辑主语可能是句子主语 也可能整个句子 而且 仔细看发现what 没谓语 其实这个题 最先做的是把句子搞懂

分词作后置定语修饰名词是最简洁有效的表达方式，不定式作定语容易产生修饰歧义，因为不定式通常用来作状语表示目的，其逻辑主语可能是句子主语; The HW was a scene of experiments investigating the effects that… A their错误的指代了conditions，实际上应当为changes，杀 B –ing作后置定语正确，the effects on worker’s performance, that作effects的定语从句，正确。 C what…are that changes...would cause整句话读起来就很奇怪，杀。 D 句意变成effects上的changes对performance的影响，杀。 E to investigate表目的。What引导的主语从句the effects / changes in…would have/ on performance 缺少谓语！

i think both of you are right. 'investigating' isn't a verb per se, here - it's a participle that's used as an adjective, like stacey said before - but it's used in a sense that's fapp* equivalent to 'experiments that investigate...'. the final word on issues like this is to throw up our hands and say, 'that's the way the gmat uses the word.' remember that you're learning to speak a second (or third, or ...) language here, called gmat-speak, and that language sometimes uses words in ways that differ from what you're used to. so: store, in your brain, the fact that the gmat considers this meaning of 'investigate' (i.e., experiments / tests / etc. can 'investigate' topics) to be perfectly ok. by the way, some brief searches on the internet reveal that lots of reputable sources also use the word in the same way (and nothing strikes me as unsavory about the usage, if my personal opinion is worth anything)
