Q2:
By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.
答案选E。理由是代词指代单数问题和which的指代歧义问题。
但是还有2个问题想得不是很清楚
1.双重所有格。记得xdf老师说过gmat中双重所有格永远错。如果是这样E也不对了。
2." its share of the $21 billion book market in the country"中“in the country”是应该看作限定share还是country?我的理解应该是就近修饰country对吗?是否也可以修饰share,如果也可以是否属于有歧义?
请NN指点迷津。。:)
我的答案上选B~
A
survey by the National Council of Churches showed that in 1986 there were
20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of the nation’s clergy, double the figure for 1977.
这题我的答案上也是B,比较B和E一个是from to E倒过来用了。另一个E有个个双重所有格,B改掉了,但没觉得逻辑意思有改变。
但E中非限定定从,which就近指代market
两个比较,我还是觉得B优。
我选的E,可是不知道from to的顺序到底能不能颠倒?请大牛给解释下
同意楼上选E,关于双重所有格问题我觉得是个误会,这个题不存在双重所有格,its share of the market,然后the country's是修饰market的,所以不是双重所有格。
双重所有格是指形似 A of B's,这样的应该是不对的。要注意这里的the country's是修饰,不是上面的双重所有格形式,包括3楼举的例子,都不是双重所有格。
关于E,我觉得首先from to颠倒顺序不违反语法基本错误,作为Effectiveness来在BE中备选,我选择E,没有歧义。
发现了ETS改写的原文,觉得ETS的改法不太顺口 (B正确)
By merging its Bantam Doubleday Dell division with Advance Publications' Random House, Bertelsmann will increase to 10 percent from nearly 6 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the United States, which ranges from Bibles to mass-market paperbacks.
