OG Yellow 5

5. As its saled of computer products have surpressed those of measuring instruments, the company has become increasingly willing to compete for the mass market sales they would on the past have concded to rivals.

A. they would in the past have conceded to rivals

B. they would have conceded previously to their rivals

C. that in the past would have been conceded to rivals in the past

D. it previously would have conceded to rivals in the past

E. it would in the past have conceded to rivals

答案是E

A.B錯是因為Agreement

C.D錯是因為Previously repeats the idea of in the past

我選了C, 不知道是不是因為文章看不懂,  我知道我错的點, 但對於E  我总觉得要+個that 引導 it would in the past have conceded to rivals 不是that連接句子嗎? 還是因為省略了?

唉呀, 观念好差~~

有能人翻译下句子吗？

AB 是因为they不能指代单数名词company
C是因为两个in the past重复并且被动语态不好
D是因为previously与in the past重复
E正确

限制性定语从句的that是可以省略的，只是宾语从句不行（Prep中有find，believe等动词的宾语从句省略that的例子），另外语义重复在GMAT中属于必错的选项

翻译：

随着公司的电脑产品的销售额超过了测量仪器的销售额，公司变得更希望去竞争那些以前会让给竞争对手的大众市场份额。
