各位老师好！

①The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Finland requires that all teachers have master's degree and funds the same to ensure that its teachers impart high quality of teaching.

②Nearly two tons of nuclear-reactor fuel have already been put into orbit around the Earth, and the chances of a collision involving such material increase greatly with the amount of space debris continuing to increase along with the number of satellites.

两个句子都来源于GMAT一位编辑的一篇文章。

请问，在①句子中，怎样才能判断to ensure这种目的状语，是只修饰前面的funds呢？还是同时修饰requires和funds两个谓语动词呢？

在②句子中，

该文章称：Now the connection is made with “along with”. This now implies that there is a relationship between the "increase in number of satellites" and "rise in amount of space debris". It implies that amount of space debris increases as the number of satellites increase. Although perfectly logical, this is not what choice A implied. 

我能明白chances continue to increase。但为什么the number of satellites能够共享continue to increase呢？
