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

是分析一下此题，请各位验证思路是否正确。

A. their 指代错误；a market ranging from..to.. 是概括性同位语，应修饰前面的句子，在此用法错误

B. which指代country造成歧义

C. 同A；

D. 同B；

E. 正确。

疑问：

1. 这道题E的句式结构是什么？是倒装吗？可以这样还原吗？

原句 the company will increase to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book
market
还原 the company will increase its share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 precent to 10 percent

2. 做题的时候一看到the company will increase to 10 percent 就直接吧CE排除了，company怎么可能涨到10%么。然后就把目标锁定在了D上。殊不知which还是个大陷阱。E的这个倒装实在太诡异，请NN指点！

谢谢先

是的，因为宾语太长了，所以把状语先放上来。

这个题，根据你的思路就可以做了。

不过还有一种有待考证的说法：range from不做定语。
