pls explain
- in C what is meaning relation between "with it skimming..." and main clause? and why this meaning relation is wrong.
- what is meaning relation between absolute phrase and main clause ? . Though gmat dose not test hard grammar point, we need to know the relation to find out the ilogic in the sentence.This knowing is not redundant.

some persons said absolute phrase has not semantic relation with main clause. I am confused here. pls explain.
