Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains, announcedthat 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

这道题应该考点是代词的指代和动词的时代:
A. that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed
it指代为Trans World Entertainment Corporation没有意义,因为在it之前只存在一个单数名词。但是they就很勉强了。根据意思,可以理解为they指代是stores但是之前有sales这个复数名词捣乱,虽然根据就近指代的原则可以理解,但是并不是最优的。也就是说,they可以知道sales也可以知道stores这样就造成了歧义ambigous.
announced为一般过去时,后面是其announce的内容,怎么能用will一般将来时?应该是用would过去将来时才对。同理B选项的 it is closing up to one-fourth of its stores, which accounted for its poor sales
"announced" indicatea that this annoucement was done. 过去动作已经发生完毕,不能再继续使用现在进行时态。
C. it was closing up to one fourth of its stores because of poor sales 使用的过去进行时态,表达含义是在宣布的时候,关闭商店这件事情正在如火如荼的进行当中。可以理解明白。没有出现冲突时态。
D. to be closing, on account of poor sales, up to one-fourth of its stores
使用了被动语态 to be done首先就不是最优的。因为被动语态在GMAT中不符合简洁的表达习惯,而且是没有道理的被动。比较其他选项可以知道,具有更加清楚的代词指代主动表达。
从句子结构上看:Trans World Entertainment Corporation annouced to be closing 这个表达也很奇怪。该组织宣告被关闭。意思也没有表达清楚,什么东西被关闭?该组织关闭?具有歧义。
E. having poor sales, such that up to one-fourth of its stores will be closed
同理,Trans World Entertainment Corporation annouced having poor sales, such that up to one-fourth of its stores will be closed。
这个表达同样是具有歧义的。谁have poor sales?组织have poor sales?除此以外,时态也是不对的。

以上为个人意见,如有不对,欢迎指正。
感谢。

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

It should be changed to "to close, on account of poor sales, up to one-fourth of its stores."
