We could see that the larger of the Brothers (an island) rose sheer out of the sea,____ some two hundred feet high.
A.the cliffs were
B.being the cliffs
C.with the cliffs
D.the cliffs being
这里为什么不选C而选D呢?
C项不算错。但有歧义,后面的结构可能被理解为定语,也可能被理解为with的宾补。选D则只有一种理解,独立主格结构作伴随状语。所以D是最佳答案。

加不加都可以,随意;不加的比加的更正式;
下面那种完成时形式的,一般不太加。
