GWD－8－Q32

D是对的

但是 them 真的就指代了challenges吗？

them难道不应该优先指代 investors？

我觉得不是同位语 是独立主格 them指代的Investor 因为among后面不是一个完整的句子

我不是NN，不过有点看法。

GWD-8-Q32:

At the annual stockholders meeting, investors heard a presentation on the numerous challenges facing the company, including among them the threat from a rival’s multibillion-dollar patent-infringement suit and the declining sales for the company’s powerful microprocessor chip.

A.including among them the threat from a rival’s multibillion-dollar patentinfringement suit and the declining sales for
这个不用看完就知道不对了，一眼度过去不知道them指代谁，including修饰也不清楚，可以修饰company，可以修饰chanllenge，甚至可以跳跃修饰presentation，又或者更常见的是作为整个句子的伴随状语。

B.which includes the threat of a rival’s multibillion-dollar patent-infringement suit and declining sales of
which在这个地方引导非限定从句，也是指代不明，逻辑上应该是指代challenges，但是GMAT喜欢在长句宾语上严格体现平行结构，所以必须是the threat...and the decline.....， 不平行的铁错。

C.included among these the threat from a rival’s multibillion-dollar patentinfringement suit as well as a decline in sales for
这个前面错在these不能单独用，后面错在sales 应该跟of才对

D.among them the threat of a rival’s multibillion-dollar patent-infringement suit and the decline in sales of

这个是标准的独立主格结构，名词/代词+介词短语 ，功能上类似于状语，这个地方应该是表示伴随情况。
E.among these the threat from a rival’s multibillion-dollar patent-infringement suit as well as the decline in sales for
这个跟前面的错的地方雷同，多了一个as well as，wordy.

欢迎讨论

 感觉 AC错在 include 和 among 重复，
但是D的结构 ，太诡异。。。。
