109. The computer company reported strong second-quarter earnings that surpassed Wall Street’s estimates and announced the first in a series of price cuts intended to increase sales further.
            

A. The computer company reported strong second-quarter earnings that surpassed Wall Street’s estimates and announced the first in a series of price cuts intended to increase sales further.

B. The report of the computer company showed strong second-quarter earnings, surpassing Wall Street’s estimates, and they announced the first in a series of price cuts that they intend to increase sales further.

C. Surpassing Wall Street’s estimates, the report of the computer company showed strong second-quarter earnings, and, for the purpose of increasing sales further, they announced the first in a series of price cuts.

D. The computer company reported strong second-quarter earnings, while announcing the first in a series of price cuts for the purpose of increasing sales further that surpass Wall Street’s estimates.

E. The computer company, surpassing Wall Street’s estimates, reported strong second-quarter earnings, while announcing that to increase sales further, there would be the first in a series of price cuts.

 

A: correct

B: they指代错误

C: surpassing修饰report错

D: that定语从句修饰对象错

E: 两个句子并列，句意表达错

 

注意：

1、找各个选项之间不同的修饰语和修饰对象的关系

我同意findjuhl gg说的其他选项的错误，但是A也错了啊

因为announceed 到底是和reported平行还是和 surpassed 平行是有歧义的！我记得OG还是GWD说过如果动词的并列有歧义话，也是错误的。

请NN赐教！！

主语：The company,两个并列的行为a,b：a)reported strong second quarter earnings + b)announced the first in a series of price cuts， 各有一个修饰短语来修饰："a)that surpassed wall street's estimates" and "b)intended to increase sales further".

前面有一位已经解释的很清楚了。
