大全933.        While the owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling, owners of cooperative apartments have shares in a corporation that owns a building and leases apartments to them.

(A) While the owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling,

(B) The owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling, but

(C) Whereas owners of condominium apartments have free and clear title to their dwellings,

(D) An owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling, whereas（C）

(E) Condominium apartment owners have a title to their dwelling that is free and clear, while

答案：C

个人感觉A更好。理由：尽管C从实行对成的角度来说比A好，但GMAT尽管强调对成，但不能为了对称而对称，这这方面OG或大全中，有几个例子就是尽管形式对称很好，但就是不选它。回到此题，C很明显的一个缺陷就是owners使用了复数，造成后面未画线部分的them指代不清，而且这个them与C选项中的their指代不统一。而A采用了单数后，就避免了这个问题。不清楚正确答案选C是否还有其它的原因？

请NN指点！

A - the owner 特指某个owner, C的owners和owners平行. 见OG109对B&E中, job与jobs的解释.

OG129正确答案: their wines are priced to sell, and they do = >their指vintners, they指wines. OG60正确答案: owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still..., as it was. its=house's, it=owning and living...

这里的finding是, 在从句里代词可指不同东东.

感谢jandjshi的答复。你说的很有道理，在OG中确实有一些代词指代不统一的情况，如你所举的例子。但在OG中也确实有打破形式对对称的特例。所以这样就感觉ETS为了得到正确答案，有时这样说，有时那样说，到底多个矛盾出现的时候，哪个规则的优先级更高呢？就拿这题来说，我还是认为舍弃形式的对称（C选项），而取指代清楚，逻辑意思明确的选项A。毕竟表达清楚最重要，因为这是本质。而形式对称再怎么好，不过还是形式的，外在的东西。

 至于你提到的A选项中的the会造成特指，有一定道理。但因为这个理由排除A，个人还是觉得不是很有说服力。

  欢迎讨论。

(A) While the (an) owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling,

the above is also a mistake.

请问mbz问什么呢？
