求问一题：曼哈顿语法题中关于the 的使用

不死不灭不成神

The lawyers for the patent holder pressed the federal judge to impose an injunction against the hardware manufacturer, arguing that they should take immediate action in order to prevent further economic damages against their client.

        A they should take immediate action in order to prevent further economic damages against their client

        B the judge act immediately in order to prevent the client from suffering further damages of an economic nature

        C they should act immediately to prevent further economic damages being suffered by the client

        
        D the judge act immediately in order to prevent them from suffering economic damages further

        E immediate action should be taken to prevent their client from suffering further economic damages

答案选E，选对了，但是看解释就晕菜了。这是B和C项的解释
(B) This answer choice corrects the pronoun issue. However, this sentence is even more unnecessarily wordy and awkward, replacing “economic damages” with “damages of an economic nature.” Also, “the client” is an awkward use of the article “the” given that “the client” refers to the patent holder, which appears in the sentence.

(C) The sentence incorrectly retains the first “they” pronoun error, though it omits the use of the second “their.” Also, “the client” is an awkward use of the article “the” given that “the client” refers to the patent holder, which appears in the sentence.
他说的这个the 是什么意思啊？这个client到底是不是指patent holder？加the client又是指什么呢？？求大牛解答

语法上讲，the client refers to the patent holder.

“the client” is an awkward use of the article “the” given that “the client” refers to the patent holder, which appears in the sentence.

语法上讲，the并没有用错，错的原因在于这里应该用their更好。少关注解释中关于the的部分，多关注更明显的错误。

SC很多选项都不存在绝对错误，关键是对比哪个更好。
