question 128 in OG

by kashefian » Sat Nov 27, 2010 1:02 am
the explanation of the question 128 in OG states that:

with cannot be followed by an independent clause


as you can see in the following example:

Australian embryologists have found evidence that suggesting that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal [b]with[/b] its trunk originally evolved as a kind of snorkel.

Could anyone give an example of a dependent clause which is correct using "with"?

But, isn't it possible to think evolved as a adj. but not a verb?
Just like "with my arms folded"

thanks
