关于GWD-1-Q2的A of B in C的问题

介词短语的修饰问题

比如:A of B in C.

in C有没有可能修饰有点远的A,修饰A和修饰B的优先级是不是相等。抑或是in C只会修饰B?(介词短语就近修饰)

比如GWD-1-Q2这题的B选项:

By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

 

  1. their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging 

  2. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

  3. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging

  4. in its share , from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

  5. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges

PS:本题我支持选E。第一保持原句形式,第二总觉得B有A of B in C,而不清楚in C是修饰谁的歧义
CD上的争议在B,E之间。

另外反对B的还有一个理由就是,which不仅仅可能指market,还可能指share.(对于指代country这点逻辑上是不可能的

这还争议什么,B最后的定语从句不对,which就近修饰,country怎么能range呢

umm..thanks, but my question is that does 'A of B in C' incurs various meaning?

看到一个句子...是能够验证我的想法的:A of B at/in  sth.里面后面的at/in sth.修饰的是A

In the early days of modernity Manet and Degas managed it more than anyone, and Clark situatees their achievement in terms of a balance of forces
        at work in the society.

唯一不足的是at work是固定搭配:起作用...不知道对修饰对象会不会有影响而颠覆了修饰规律...(头疼或许表达不清见谅)

以下是引用aeoluseros在2008-10-21 13:11:00的发言:

比如:A of B in C.

in C有没有可能修饰有点远的A,修饰A和修饰B的优先级是不是相等。抑或是in C只会修饰B?(介词短语就近修饰)**这里不必具体去追究A of B in C是怎样修饰的,要看具体情况,这不是个固定的搭配。请看下面分析。

比如GWD-1-Q2这题的B选项:

By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges

PS:本题我支持选E。第一保持原句形式,第二总觉得B有A of B in C,而不清楚in C是修饰谁的歧义
CD上的争议在B,E之间。

B中应该用...book market of the country...,用in本身就是一个错误,不必计较。另外,which定语从句是否一定要就近修饰?实际使用中只要不会引起岐意就可以隔词修饰,美语本来就是这么灵活的。但是这里需要注意,在GMAT考试中,ETS因推崇清晰表达故比较喜欢就近修饰,以免产生歧意,因此,我们需要就近理解它的修饰意思。

E中to 10 percent from 6 percent其实是比较晦涩的,不过,这样用不影响意思的表达和语法结构,而后面部分从结构到意思都没错,所以,E就是正确答案了。

个人观点谨供参考。
