GWD-17-Q40

My opinion:

1, who and whose can't refer financial analysts. So we may exclude A /B.

2, There is no subject Pronoun "those" refer to. So we may exclude C.

3, Compare D with E. Sure E is the best.

 GWD-18-Q1

Let's discuss the word likelihood.

Can we use sombody's likehood? It seemed a logic error.

A和B的who和whose为什么不能指带前面的financial analysts？？

 Contrary to financial analysts, who predicted
last year that the market for home computers would dwindle, the
personal computer industry continued to show strong growth in the first
quarter of this year.

1. analysts, who predicted
2. analysts, whose predictions
3. analysts and their predictions
4. analysts’ predicting
5. analysts’ predictions

********************************
我试着说说我的看法吧:
这题我也错了,选的A
但是2F的解释不同意. analyst本身就是有分析家的意思,who/whose当然可以!

翻阅了1下tonyadidas当年的语法笔记,这么说的:
contrary to popular belief/opinon....可以修饰全句,不存在逻辑主语的问题.

但是仔细看一看这个例子,我就在想,belief, opionn都是一种抽象的概念,是不是contrary to后面只能接抽象的概念呢? 比如"信念,意见,预测,建议,观点...."而不能接实在物体,尤其是"人".
contrary to sb 算是什么回事呢??
所以按照这条,否定了ABC,D是one's doing 错上加错.

所以E

LONGMAN :可以看出没有contrary to somebody的用法.
