23. GWD26-Q23

Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns
        the Record
            Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains,
        announced that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed.

 

A.      that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores
        are poor, they will be closed.

B.       it is closing up to one-fourth of its stores, which
        accounted for its poor sales

        because of poor sales.

D.      to be closing, on account of poor sales, up to one-fourth of its stores.

可以查一下announce 用法
announce something to somebody

如果announce + N，此N剛好用to，像announced
        a plan to impose new
controls on

而且為了表達ing，用to be closing似乎讀來奇怪

LONGMAN的解释还有一条，可能有用，

2
to say something, especially something that other people will not like, in a loud and confident way
ￚsynonym state'I'm not going to their party,' Maggie announced.
announce (that) that可以省略
He stood up and announced that he was ready to go.
