指代的确实是三个原因,即that指代的是technological stagnation, marketingmissteps, and managerial blunders . a of b that...这个结构that修饰a和b的优先级是一样的。a of b,c and d that 这里面that可以修饰a,也可以修饰b,c, d,看逻辑。
将选项D还原: The computer company’s present troubles are a result of technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct. 我认为调整语序后: The computer company’s present troubles that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct are a result of technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders。
支持指代的是blunders:大错 所以 D. that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct中correct省略了blunders,只有blunders能correct啊。 大家不觉得that 指代了blunder 这道题就清晰而且简单多了么
The computer company’s present troubles are a result of technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders (so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it).
A好像是 It 离指代的result太远,非常不明显。但是从文章看,指代歧义是可以避免的,result是离it最近的单数名词,而且意思是通的。
(A 的意思是,这个公司面临的问题是1, 2, 3,三个原因造成的,非常复杂,所以,公司好多次要战略转型的努力都失败了。)---突出了一个因果关系。
哪个牛牛能讲清楚一点,我觉得这个题是定语从句,可是在考场上怎么分析啊、in addition, the answer "d' has so many confusions among the learners, can it be the best answer ? sounds ridiculous~~
