The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year, largely because it was profitable only overseas, where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing to lose money in North America.

 

(A) where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing

(B) where much of their profits went to pay higher taxes, as they continued

(C) where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued

(D) with much of their profits going to pay higher taxes, while continuing

(E) with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, as it continued

 

答案选C~~没问题

 

我疑惑的是NN说A,D中while continuing中continue不能用现在进行时~~可是我觉得这里continue不是做现在进行时使用，而是作为it was profitable的伴随状语，如果完整的表达就是C选项的WHILE it continued...

 

我这种想法对吗？希望得到高人指点！

continuing 在这仍是表示动作仍在进行是现在进行时.所以不对

continuing可以作形容词使用

觉得AD最大问题在于their指代不对，用it

C意思是 公司亏损因为只在海外挣钱，海外的钱都用来付税了，而公司仍在亏钱。

E意思是 公司亏损因为只在海外挣钱，这些钱大部分都赋税了，所以公司还是继续亏钱。

是不E的意思好点。
