(E) for the purpose of not competing directly with

key: C，但是这里不会存在they的模糊指代问题吗？

不会；the pronoun of subordinating clauses refers to the subject of the major clause;
this is a very common phenomena in GMAT

有competitive against這用法嗎?還是錯在so as not directly to?為什麼錯

E PURPOSE用法不对：for the purpose of sth/doing sth to do ; 所以如果改成for the purpose not to compete directly with就对了

they应该是有指代模糊的问题吧？代词不是优先就近指代的吗？而且they之前的复数名词不止一个。查了字典之后发现for the purpose of 后面加ing是正确的结构，从句意上好像也没什么问题吧，选项E错在哪儿了呢？有谁能帮忙解释一下吗？多谢！

大Ｎ们快来出个代词指代问题的总结吧～～我觉得这个是一个大难点，而在ＯＧ的东东中，关于代词指代的说法似乎有不一致的地方．

是这个问题太简单了吗？没有NN来关注？

很奇怪为什么那么多人总是在呼唤NN。我想CD上的NN，也都是经过千锤百炼，或者说挣扎无数次，才化蛹成蝶的吧。无论是总结也好，心得也好。自己去琢磨琢磨，估计也最后能成为牛牛。

我虽然也不是什么牛牛，而且也一样很希望牛牛现身（现在CD好像都没以前的讨论气氛了，所以出牛牛或者牛牛现身的几率实在大大下降）。但每次看到有XDJM呼唤牛牛，就觉得干吗不立足自己去琢磨呢。与其叫半天，还不如争口气，自己帮自己。自己帮好了自己，也就有能力去帮别人了。
