标题: prep 一道题，很简单，希望大家能帮忙指点下，就一个点

Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains, announced that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed

A. that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed

B. it is closing up to one-fourth of its stores, which accounted for its poor sales

C. it was closing up to one fourth of its stores because of poor sales

D. to be closing, on account of poor sales, up to one-fourth of its stores

E. having poor sales, such that up to one-fourth of its stores will be closed

答案是C，我选了D，本来想选A因为书面语中宾语从句的that不是不能省么？

有个别特例，think, tell 有没加that但是出现在正确选项的情况，看来announce也是个特例，D其他表达的都挺好

A 表达的别扭了点，they 还有点修饰sales的歧义，不过要是第一次做我也会选A ...

不知道关于d 还有没有更合理的解释，讨论讨论

好的，谢谢，
D问了一个native speaker, 说这样表达awkward....

个人认为选项A中的they既可以理解为1/4的商店，也可以理解为所有商店，所以有歧义。

C时态吻合，注意是announced
而A是they will be closed

作者: summer虾 时间: 2010-4-25 12:52
而D的语言总觉得有点awkward，有点太破碎了

A 连一个连词都没有

在A选项中，they的指代不清楚，是所有的店呢，还是1/4的店要关门大吉？我这样觉得，所以不选A。

C 则很明确。

请问这里的that可以省是因为announce是一个特例的关系吗？

也不是，that在做宾语从句引导词时如果省略依然可以使读者清晰的理解句意，那么就可以省略

另外语法笔记上说announce to do/be是标准的错误结构，announce后面要加something或者that从句

Ron大大关于这个问题是这样说的：

is this problem really from GMATPrep?
it doesn't look like an official problem. you would want "that" here, as noted above. also, "it would be closing" would be better than "it was closing", since this was a future event at the time of the announcement.

does anyone have a screen shot to prove that this problem is, indeed, official?

hmm. ugly.

the two complaints that I posted above still stand, but, as we state here quite often, we simply have to accept the fact that this problem is officially correct. ugh.

in any case, although all of the answer choices are at least somewhat ugly, choice (c) is still the best of them -- and, apparently, gmac doesn't require that you use the word "that" between "announce" and a clause.

to the posters on this thread -- it seems as though most of the complaints are about choice (c), but no one seems to have posted a choice that he/she thinks is better. did any of you think that one of the other choices was better?
