* also, the way the gmat uses 'with ...', it must be followed by a noun or noun equivalent. so, for instance, you could say 'with her 15 recordings', but you can't say 'with her 15 recordings disappointing...' (which is no longer a noun phrase).
with introduces a noun or noun phrase

I am not an expert but I will try to explain based on the text you have posted.
It says with can only introduce a noun or noun phrase.
In the 2 sentences you have given, "with good ethics making him strong" is not a noun phrase. Good ethics makes him strong. It has a verb in it.
According to the text, with introduces nouns or noun phrases. things like books, the three books, the white van, good ethics, me, you etc.
