★这两个现在分词在句中作什么状语★
第一句:The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
第二句:He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired.
第一句的instructing和第二句的informing引导的现在分词各作什么状语?
参考答案:两句中的instructing 与informing在各自的句子中的成分一致,均表示send fax 的目的,因此是目的状语
