标题: GWD1-Q2的答案可以定性为E了嘛

GWD1-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.

 

A.      their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging

B.       from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

C.      to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging

D.      in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

E.       to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges

我选的是E，理由和讨论的一样，就是WHICH的指代对象是符合逻辑的，B指代国家貌似不合逻辑

有人在new york times上找到了原文，看了原文，支持下B。这道题目的关键可能在于用所有格还是介词短语。

以下是引用wanjun在2007-9-24 9:20:00的发言：

在伤心咖啡店转贴的

供大家参考

找到在 New York Times 上的句子了:
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.

GWD1-Q2的答案可以定性为E了嘛

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.

 

  1. their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging

  2. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

  3. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging

  4. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

  5. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges

我觉得还是有争议，原来B的弱点在于which指代country的歧义，但NYtimes的这段话使得B没有弱点

 对于E来说，to 10 percent from 6 percent 有争议，现在看来也是正确的。

然后B的in the country好过th country's....个人觉得这段原文支持B...

 

BTW：以前我是支持E的，所以，假装我没看过这个原文..

我觉得还是b好，因为如果你怕which指代country，那market呢？同样也可能产生歧义

which就是指代 market，E不存在歧义

我也觉得原文支持B啊，which修饰 US

作者: AlienX    时间: 2008-11-24 13:13
umm....有原文不一定是對...
這一題巳經被GMAC放到GMATPrep的software裏....GMATPrep的答案是E
作者: ArronPeirsol    时间: 2008-11-24 17:46

烦请楼上解释一下

如果which修饰us，那么后面指的是什么意思呢？

一个国家range from......?

作者: hytulip    时间: 2009-4-16 17:18

which 肯定是指代market的。textbook和paperback是图书的分类，不可能是国家的分类。

并且在我印象中，GMAT的语法非常严谨，修饰词或短语以与其最接近的为被修饰对象。而在RC的阅读文章中却没有这种要求。

所以我认为不能以NewYorkTimes上的原文作为答案依据。GMAC是有自己的原则的。

综上，我觉得这道题的best answer应该是E，不是B。

请多指教。

我弱弱地说一句
在平时生活中，which不是可以指代前面一句话么
也学NYTIMES的作者在写文章的时候根本不是我们坐语法题这么扣，就跟我们平时说中文，经常会说“大家基本上都到了”，其实严格来讲“基本”和“都”不是矛盾了吗？

支持E，B的which有触犯GMAT山寨规矩的嫌疑
作者: hytulip    时间: 2009-4-16 22:23

这个“山寨规矩”出自白勇语法。

BTW，CD22上此题的答案是E。

作者: xiangmin225    时间: 2009-5-20 15:41
虽然这道题已经有了prep的官方答案，但是确实理由仍然十分纠结。。
作者: terry_run    时间: 2009-7-5 23:48
官方答案是E 吗？ 我选了E  看到GWDTN 给了B 的答案，纠结了半天。。
作者: best4380    时间: 2009-7-6 02:50
I am absolutely sure that the correct answer is E.
Please note that GMAT English is different from the daily used one.

B比E要好：

1. from...to...好好的短语，为什么要颠倒过来,而且构句上也没有非要颠倒的需要。

2. E里面share of the country's market，嵌套用of和所有格形式是不好的。

3. market in the country, which ranges没有问题：which引导的从句修饰market in the country一个整体。in the country是个很短的结构，里面只有country一个名词，不能阻隔which从句修饰market，而且在意思上也十分清楚。

是吗？
作者: a58891012    时间: 2009-8-24 12:22
十分纠结这道题...prep上的答案是E... 纠结
作者: xiximelody    时间: 2009-10-26 10:39
应该是B吧，白勇语法里写的很明白了，有生命的事物的所有格可以用sb's sth，然而没有生命物体所有格只能用sth of sth。这是很严格的，有很多体的考点就在这里。E的错误其实就是这。

so, 听天由命
作者: weijiejing    时间: 2011-7-17 23:08
选B...在名词（核心词）+ 介词短语的情况下，which跳跃修饰前面结构中的核心词。
E中的复合所有格错
