7. As its sales of computer products have surpassed
those of measuring instruments, the company has
become increasingly willing to compete for the mass
market sales they would in the past have conceded
to rivals.
(A) they would in the past have conceded to rivals
(B) they would have conceded previously to their
rivals
(C) that in the past would have been conceded
previously to rivals
(D) it previously would have conceded to rivals in
the past
(E) it would in the past have conceded to rivals

主要是对the placement of modifier有疑问，总觉得E选项里面的in the past位置怪怪的，如果改成it would have conceded previously to rivals又怎么说呢？跪求大牛解答！！谢谢。

又是一个纠结于不该纠结的地方的问题。现实不是让你改题，而是让你选答案。

但是真的存在疑问啊，不知道这里in the past 修饰的是什么

as作為conj，可以表示during（在...時）/because/In thesame way as（比較）
所以這裡的as表示因為。
it would in the past have conceded to rivals.
這裡是用了虛擬語氣，表示對過去虛擬。previously一般用於simple past tense。
in the past如果放在rivals後面，可以理解成在過去的rivals，放在would後面就不會有歧義，修飾動作。
