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.

有点晕:( 各说各的理
A. their指代the company错误。Ranging使得后面的分句没有谓语。
B. which可以跳跃指代,但是A of B in C, which的结构太过复杂,读者在读句子的时候很难立即判断出which指代的是market;注意which未必紧跟修饰词。
C. their错误同A,ranging错误同A。
D. which错误同B。of和要连接的对象离的太远不好。
E. correct。A of B, which的结构中Which指代B明确更清晰;to…from…结构中to 10 percent提前以示强调。
1. 根据单复一致 (the company后面的指代应为单数),干掉A、C
2. B、D、E末尾都以which来修饰,检验which的修饰内容,应为market,选E

你的分析很详细,但是“ which可以跳跃指代,但是A of B in C, which的结构太过复杂,读者在读句子的时候很难立即判断出which指代的是market”这个有点牵强吧。。。。
