do "ing" verbs modify the entire preceding clause?

Eg. Diagnostic Question 49 in OG 13
Thanks!

hi,
this is not an adequate post.

if you're going to cite the OG, please create an example of your own that uses the same type of construction.
then, please indicate which construction(s) and/or answer choice(s) you're asking about, and please ask specific questions about them.

thanks.
