answer: B/E

我说怎么一刷新出来两个小教室，还以为自己看花眼了呢。

谢谢tony！辛苦啦。

这题我选E。理由：

1.E的increase to表示是增长到10%，后接from表示从6%开始增长。B的increase from 6 to 10有先增长6个百分点，再增长10个百分点的歧义

2.E的...’s market表示是这个国家的图书市场，B的market in...表示位于这个国家的某个具体市场，歧义

代表千千万选B的XDJM提问！

首先，og某题说from to用反了是错的。

其次，A of B, which这里的which可以跃前指代。那这里A in B，which能否可以越前？

请携隐老师指教！

不要叫我老师啦，羞愧难当。

OG里有说不能用反吗？没有印象。

上面漏说了，B的which指代country错误。只有E的which是指代market的。

定语从句越过介词短语跳跃指代，好像OG里是有的，OG114:

114. From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.

(A)  baggage so light

(B)   baggage being so light

(C)  baggage, yet being so light

(D)  baggage, and so light

(E)   baggage yet was so light

但是，本题里about介词短语后面没有出现名词；with介词短语虽然出现了名词，可是前后有逗号隔开，更像是一个插入语成份，不影响which定语从句的修饰。而GWD-1-2里面，介词短语in the country是紧跟在market后面的，两个名词，which应该就是就近修饰country了。

一家之言，请指教。

oK,from to的顺序问题与which的错误指代，后者应该权重更大就这么定了哦。1-2选E.

GWD-1-Q2:

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

我觉得是B。请大家再斟酌。我先把OG的例子拿出来。

OG 85: Out of America's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

(A)  things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B) things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

A of B, which(that)还是A +介词+B，which (that)到底从句修饰谁？我觉得没有固定的规律（尤其是从

GWD看），逻辑意思为大！就好像OG85，从逻辑意思上就只能是修饰marketing，将furniture and

fixtures放入不符合逻辑意思，所以不会有歧义。

我觉得GWD1-2应该是选择B.  

book market in the country, which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks. 我们从后面的range from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks可以知道只能是market能够有这样的range,不可能是country.所以这里没有歧义。

我这里找了另外一个题目来说明逻辑意思来决定是否有歧义：

Factory outlet stores, operated by manufactures, are usually located miles from downtown and regional shopping centers so that they do not compete directly with department stores in the same trading area.
