While depressed property values can hurt some large investors, they are potentially devastating for home-owners. whose equity--in many cases representing a life's savings--can plunge or even disappear.
(A) they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose
(B) they can potentially devastate homeowners in that their
(C) for homeowners they are potentially devastating, because their
(D) for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in that their
(E) it can potentially devastate homeowners, whose
Choice A is the best. Its wording is unambiguous and economical. The plural pronoun they agrees with its antecedent, property values. The pronoun whose clearly refers to homeowners and efficiently connects them with the idea of lost equity. In B, C, and D, substituting in that their or because their for whose is wordy and confusing since the antecedent of their might be they, not homeowners. Furthermore, can potentially is redundant in B and E. Both D and E use the singular pronoun it, which does not agree with its logical antecedent, property values.
我的问题是这个while在此做何解释？另外A中的they怎么就没有指代home-owers的歧义呢？
1. while:during the time that something is happening
They arrived while we were having dinner.
2.in A, The plural pronoun they agrees with its antecedent, property values.根据从句的主语优先指代主句的主语
3 在B中 they refer to property value, while their seem to logically refer to homeowners. And it is not allowed that the same pron. refer to two different things in gmat sc.
从句的主语优先指代主句的主语
这是ETS明确的 无论从句在先有后
OG中有好多这样的例题 你找一下吧
这里不是进行时，devastating 是形容词。

OG中是有这多这样的例子，但也有例外，我一时找不到依据。
我先把这个从句的主语优先指代主句的主语当成ETS的prefer；
谁能帮我解释一下这里的while？

I think "While" 这里是转折，意思是 “低弥的资产价格可能伤害大的投资者， 对home-owner 可能就是一种灾难了，因为他们的资产可能是一生的积蓄。。。
另外they指代 "depressed property values" 在逻辑上名正言顺，因为 大的投资者不可能是”home-owner" 的大灾难。
折这点这里并没有转折，再说转折也应该放在后面，而不应该放在句首，这里的while =when还好理解一点，就是后面多了一个语气词can。所以比较奇怪这里的表达。
see here:
37. While some academicians believe that business ethics should be integrated into every business course, others say that students will take ethics seriously only if it would be taught as a separately required course.
(A) only if it would be taught as a separately required course
(B) only if it is taught as a separate, required course
(C) if it is taught only as a course required separately
(D) if it was taught only as a separate and required course
(E) if it would only be taught as a required course, separately
B is the right answer.
I think this "while" is almost the same function as the "while" in 159. It expresses a sense of "contrast" (对照）. Large investor compares to "home-owner".

说的有道理，thx.
这里不是进行时，devastating 是形容词。
（A）are devastating的形式和进行时相同，而且其他选项中的devastate都是以v.形式出现，所以很容易一看就理解成进行时而排除的（我就是这么做的）。那到底怎么确定它是形容词而不是进行事态呢？

我的问题是这个while在此做何解释？ my two cents: while = although in this sentence.
同意楼上的while可以引导让步从句与although一样的用法
译为:虽然...但是,多位于句首
valarie给了一个不错的例题，although不错，多读读就是了
不过OG的解释是有点。。。。。
好像BY语法上有说吧. while在句首引导从句,表although.

同意while观点，但they指代顺序是不是应该先指代主句中owners再从句主语values呢？
