GWD 26-23

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C，但宾语从句的that是不能省略的啊。所以我想选A但又不知道A中的they指代是否有问题

对阿，宾语从句的that是不能省略的啊，这我也想知道。

A的they意思上指的是its stores吧。

Ｃ选项最大的问题是was closing 没有对应的时间状语．

C选项还有一个问题是poor sales的指代不明确．是指Corporation,还是stores的poor sales呢?容易产生歧义．

顶,我觉得A的they还是有问题,到底选什么,NN们!

选a,应该用将来时

又没有想过d 呢？

虽然时态奇怪，但不至于无法理解，而且没有其他错误了

我也选A, they 我觉得是指代it stores ,

C 的问题挺多的.

我支持D，D简洁，A读起来感觉就不对。，

希望斑竹显身解答一下。。。。。
