On the GMAT, the implied subject of a verbless clause must be crystal clear.
For this reason:
The implied subject of COMMA + VERBLESS CLAUSE is invariably the preceding noun.
The implied subject of an INTRODUCTORY VERBLESS CLAUSE is invariably the subject of the following clause.
I have doubts about this.
What about the following sentences?
The money was transferred to the customers, as [it was] promised.
Elaine thought of a new plan while [she was] peeling potatoes.

If the intended subject of promised is the money, the GMAT likely would place as promised BEFORE the money, so it's closer to the implied subject.
Elaine thought of a new plan while [she was] peeling the potatoes.
Here, no comma precedes the verbless clause while peeling -- a different construction from the one discussed in my initial post.
When a verbless clause is not set off by a comma, the implied subject of the verbless clause is the preceding subject.
Here, the preceding subject is Elaine, so it's clear that ELAINE was PEELING the potatoes.
