How does ",with ..." works?

My understanding is that it modifies the entire clause and makes sense with the subject of the clause.

Please correct my understanding, if wrong.

Hi Mitch,

Quick question. Similar to what other member has posted just before this post.

Can I rule out B,C and E on just the basis of usage of "more" instead of most. Also, the example you quoted in your response, it would be right if it had most in place of more, right?

Thanks,
Shobhit

Hi Mike,

I have a quick question on the above mentioned SC problem.

While solving it, I got confused thinking that "that" refers to opponent?

Don't you think there is pronoun ambiguity? I'm pretty sure I'm not thinking straight on this one.

Can you help me clarify the rule?

Thanks!!
