Explanation

(4) B suffers from the error of importance. If the modifying clause emphasizes the importance of an action, the modified clause does not include the auxiliary. Delete 'should'. C: Error of modifier. If the modifying clause does not have a subject, the modified clause should begin with the subject. The correct usage: “I found my pocket picked”.
