GWD1-Q2:找到了出处但仍然不知道该选哪个~

By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

A.      their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging

B.       from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

C.      to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging

D.      in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

E.       to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges

 

New York Times:

By merging its Bantam Doubleday Dell division with Advance Publications' Random House, Bertelsmann will increase to 10 percent from nearly 6 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the United States, which ranges from Bibles to mass-market paperbacks.

看来increase to--- from---是可以接受的

但原文竟然是B和E的结合！！到底选那个呢？？

请NN帮忙看看吧。

不是NN噢，个人觉得是B，E: of the country's is not right

from to 是倒装，强调了to 10percent, 不知道理解的对否？

也许编辑们觉得这样是可以的，但...book market in the country, which...在GMAT里面是认为有歧义的，which可能修饰book market也可能修饰the country。

OG例句：

错误：Unlike the buildings in M cities, which were arranged haphazadly, the same basic plan was followed for all cities of the Indus Valley: with houses laid out on a north-south, east-west grid, and houses and wals were built of standard-size bricks.

有道理。

我觉得是选B。E的 of the country's 肯定是有问题。

另外关于修饰的问题，我觉得the country ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks翻译不通啊，明显修饰应该是 book market。跟举的例子不一样，因为city和buildings都可以 be arranged haphazadly。

不过ets确实说which应该紧跟在被修饰词的后面，我是就题说题了，从意思上讲不能修饰the country， 而不是结构。楼主认为呢？

不好意思，我举的OG例子（Diagnostic35)是错误的例子，是有歧义的，因为没有电子版，懒得敲全了。

虽然我也觉得the country's ..market这样的所有格形式是不太好，比起逻辑错误来说，这个就不那么重要了吧。答案是选E，我觉得可以接受。

ad264

表示地區機構的名詞的所有格: nation's, America's, city's, firm's, bank's
所以country's 應該可以

    

freya816

还是觉得E比较对，虽然我看到的答案是B..

小佳

选e吧。

b的which不能跳过in the country指代market的。

gmat的规则和日常用语还是有出入。

牛刀杀小

我认为选B。E的错误主要是双重所有格of the country’s .GAMT中，不允许出现双重所有格.

以下为例句.

OG2. Since 1981, when the farm depression began, the number of acres overseen by professional farm-management companies have grown from 48 million to nearly 59 million, an area that is about Colorado's size.

(A)  have grown from 48 million to nearly 59 million, an area that is about Colorado's size

考点: 比较（Comparison）
                        主谓一致（Agreement）
                        有效用词（Diction）

1) 比较双方要对等

2) 在GMAT中,双重所有格,即 the rates of immigrants’ 表达错误, 应该改为the rates of immigrant或者 immigrants’ rates

3) 对比对象中出现的重复名词用that或those代替,that代替前面出现的单数名词,those代替前面出现的复数名词

(A) immigrants’ rates不能同other immigrant group相比.

(B) rates of entrepreneurship不能同other immigrant group相比

(C) 正确, 用those代替前面出现过的rates,比较双方对应

(D) the rates of entrepreneurship不能同other immigrant group相比

(E) 使用双重所有格,错误;
                        主谓不一致:主语是rates,谓语应该用exceed.

62. (27694-!-item-!-188;#058&003624)

A survey of 765 working women over eighteen years of age found that 60 percent of them worked 40 or more hours a week and for married women with children under eighteen it was more likely that they would work different shifts from their husbands.

(A) for married women with children under eighteen it was more likely that they would work different shifts from their husbands

(B) for married women whose children were under eighteen, they were more likely than other married women to work shifts different from their husbands'

(C) when married women had children under eighteen it was more likely for them to be working different shifts from those of their husbands'

(D) that married women with children under eighteen were more likely than other married women to work shifts different from their husbands'

(E) that when married women had children under eighteen they were more likely to be working shifts that differed from their husbands

A. 第二个发现的内容作为谓语found的宾语，为宾语从句，that不能省略；different shifts from their husbands 将 shifts 与 husbands 相比，比较对象不对等，此处应该使用所有格husbands’

B. 第二个发现的内容作为谓语found的宾语，为宾语从句，that不能省略

C. 第二个发现的内容作为谓语found的宾语，为宾语从句，that不能省略；when引导时间状语从句，表达的意思与原句不同；be working时态错误；those of their husbands’为双重所有格，错误，正确的表达方式应该为those of their husbands，或者their husbands’。

D. 正确。

E. That differed from their husbands修饰对象为shifts，即，将husband与shifts相比较，比较对象不对等；when引导时间状语从句，表达的意思与原句不同；be working时态错误。

句子结构：A survey found that… and that….

句子描述一个调查的两个发现，两个发现分别由that引起的宾语从句表示，两者平行。

句子结构（Grammatical Construction）, 简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）

1) 宾语从句中的that不能省略。

2) GAMT中，不允许出现双重所有格。
