Question

.________ the students were hearing the exciting news !

A . How pleased B . What a fun C . How happily D .What pleasure

Answer 1

the newspaper reported that（ having） the increase in the minimum wage, many people are still having trouble making ends meet.
正确的应该是even with
解释中说 having 是修饰 newspaper的，要想修饰people就要用介词with
请问having 为什么是修饰newspaper的？

您好，
that 引导的宾语从句，前面的分句作的是伴随状语从句，也就与谓语动词同时进行的动作或状态，have（有）是没有进行时态的，所以我们很容易排除having，showing还可以接受，当然没介词结构作状语来得正式、得体。
至于having为什么会修饰newspaper，很难理解，
从答案出发，我的个人理解是这样的
the newspaper（which was） reported that（had） the increase 。。。
ps：其实只要记住have（有）是没有进行时态就可以解决这题了，当然有having a dinner 等词组不中的having就是其他意思了，having done （助动词）

希望能帮到您吧
