Sentence or not?

Independent Clause, BUT in attributing.........

i have the silliest doubt
can the underlined part form an independent clause?
As a conjunction is used, in attributing.. acts as a modifier and does not stand on its own,hence i can eliminate answer with this type of construction?

In case you are referring to OG 12 Q#79, the sentence is wrong because of misplaced modifier not because it don't have independent clause. The sentence has independent clause so I think we can't assume what you are saying.

Can you give me examples where

Independent Clause, BUT in attributing.........
FORMS A SENTENCE

Independent Clause, BUT in attributing.........
DOES NOT FORM A SENTENCE

This is a complete sentence if you ignore misplaced modifier error, so I believe we can create such sentences.

Can you provide two simple sentences where one works and other doesn't ?
Thanks

I am not sure whether I will be able to construct an example. But 'In attributing x to y' is an idiomatic expression. BTW, lets wait for experts' comments.

Willy gave you an example that works. If you take your own example and just end the sentences before the "........", you'll have a SUPER simple example that doesn't work as a complete sentence. Please let us know if you need any further help on this one..
