标题: OG12-SC87

In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners
have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell,
and they are.
(A) have been priced to sell, and they are
(B) are priced to sell, and they have
(C) are priced to sell, and they do
(D) are being priced to sell, and have
(E) had been priced to sell, and they have
Verb form
In the underlined segment, the second verb does
not need to repeat the word sell because it is
understood from the previous verb phrase priced to
sell. However, the second verb must be correctly
conjugated with the understood sell. Th ey are sell is
not a correct verb form; they do sell is correct.
A Th ey are would require selling to complete it,
not sell.
B Th ey have would require sold to complete it,
not sell.
C Correct. Th is sentence properly uses they do
in place of they do sell, a grammatically
correct verb.
D Have would require sold to complete it, not
sell; omitting the subject they requires that
the comma be omitted as well.
E Th ey have would require sold to complete it,
not sell; the past-perfect had been priced
suggests illogically that the wines were
already priced to sell before the vintners cut
prices; moreover, since the past-perfect tense
indicates that one event in the past occurred
prior to another event in the past, the pasttense
did would be required rather than the
present-tense have.
Th e correct answer is C.

所以我想知道这个题翻译过来是啥意思呢?

their wines are priced to sell, and they do....我不明白这句话与上一句是什么逻辑关系呢?

请NN们指教.

他们的酒被削价促销，并且它们真的（卖的的很好）。

The most important rule we need to remember for this question is one of the rules of ellipsis:

If you omit a word in a sentence, that word must have already appeared in the sentence.

In this question, the original version, if "un-ellipsed," would look like this:

In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell, and they are selling.

You will notice that the ellipsed word is selling, but this word does NOT appear in the sentence before.

In the correct answer choice, we use do to substitute sell. Remember, do can be used to replace a verb phrase, as in the sentence, She thinks I don't care about my grades, but I do. In this sentence, do replaces care.

Make sense?

我有一个疑惑。。。their wines have been priced to sell, and they do.
前面一个their指代italian vintners，那么后面那个they按照楼上的解释指代了wines。。。。gmat不是说同一个句子里面同种代词不会指代不同事物，不然会产生歧义。。。
我一直的理解是。。。。他们的酒一直都是定价销售的（因为是完成时），但是意大利酒商（这次真的降价销售了）。可是又不通。。。。感觉楼上的意思更加贴切。。。可是。。。又代词不同指代。。。

求指导～～～

后面那个they指的是酒商吧，and they do 意思是不是他们确实这么做着（降价卖酒）

可否这样理解：
‘Italian vintners have cut prices’ 说明酒商降价已成事实，所以后面的 and ‘they’ 要是指代的是酒商则重复句意，因此只能理解为指代 wines.

最后一个they是指wines,也就是说降价后的酒的确卖的很好.

作者: choumichael 时间: 2011-10-17 10:25
最后一个THEY应该是vintners，与分号后的their对应；翻译是：他们的酒降价卖时，他们降低了库存量。
