GWD20-Q27 一些思考与困惑真心请教NN们 - ChaseDream

The electronics company has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a hand-held computer, and it weighs less than 11 ounces.
A.to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs
B.to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing
C.is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs
D.is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs
E.is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing

主要讨论B与D，本题的考察点与疑惑点，
第一，the world’s smallest network，虽然说所有格仅仅表of，但是world’s XX 实在用的很多不知能否作为排除点来用；
第二，D中的what it claims is …没有问题，是属于嵌入式关系分句的用法，同时词汇用法的角度来说，claim to be 的确有这样的用法，或者也可以用 claim sth as（it claims what is…是不是有问题？没有as）；
第三，B中的which是否能够跨越in the world，或许有歧义，因为从语义上讲，实在不存在任何歧义直接跨越，而从语法上面讲确实in the world 并非决定camcorder性质的后置定语（而是状语），所以不能够跨越；
第四，从语义上面来讲，是最小的camcorder，应该是更多的指尺寸呢还是尺寸与重量同时强调呢，如果是前者，weighing或许更好（也有风险，有涉及到了另外一个复杂问题，有没有“，Ving”作为非限制性定语来修饰computer的问题了），而如果是后者则D就是更好了。
