5, E是完美的独立主格结构，smokers 是refer的形式主语。
A, reference抽象名词，在GMAT中不是优先选项。

1、此题依然从动词入手。bring 和grow的动作发出者都是a market，所以用单数。只有B满足。which指带fascination ，all things unique是修饰fascination的。提示：不要从那些生僻结构入手，应该从动词以及大的方向入手。

2、这个题目是smilinglan问的，已经讨论的很详细。

3、d:确保关门完全。（强调动作，逻辑意思不合理）
e:确保门被完全地关上。（强调结果，合理）

4、d错在be difficult没有合理的动作发出。明显他的发出者应该是to absorb.......这个短语，而d用了so as to这个结构使得发出者成为students，退一步即使你说student可以发起，那么absorb的时态又不对了。

5、in reference to /refering to 你可以查查字典，前者用的都是那些比较大的话题。而后者的意思可以为“提及，提到”

5 的关键是 A动词的时态，主句与从句不一致

hexin答得好！还是动词！！
