这题的正确答案是E，我选的B，INCREASE FROM。。TO。。这个用法很常见啊，我看美国这边的报纸经济版经常会有这样的用法，错在哪里了？为什么一定要INCREASE TO。。。FROM？

By merging its

country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market
ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

    

1. their share of the country’s $21
        billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging
2. from 6 percent to 10 percent its
        share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
3. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their
        share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging
4. in its share, from 6 percent to 10
        percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
5. to 10 percent from 6 percent its
        share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges

我觉得主要是clarity 的区别：B中the $21 billion book market既可以解释为its share of的补语，也可以说是全国book market value, i.e. the country's $21 billion book market;   E的表述解决了这个的ambiguity.

另外，是否可以说　Ｂ　和　Ｄ　其实是一样的。

哦。。。。明白了。谢谢楼上

哦，其实还有另外一个至关重要的线索：

Ｂ　。。。　book market in the country, which ranges　from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

Ｅ　。。。　billion book market, which ranges　from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

非限定定语从句的先行词只能是　book market .

Mayanist

非限定定语从句的先行词只能是　book market , or else there exists an illogical predication problem.

看到白勇里面一句话，觉得用来说BD错误特别合适：定于从句的修饰对象必须明确合理，修饰原则是先就近再跳跃。通过定于从句的主谓一致，可以保证修饰对象的清除明确。
