本题主要考代词指代的问题：

GMAT考试中有很多的代词指代歧义的问题，换句话说，比较理想的选项是只有一个关系代词的先行词的选项！要虔诚地遵循这个原则，去除掉任何技术上可能指代更多名词的选项。“要么有唯一可能的代词指代先行词，要么排除”

A：their 可能指代cars 也可能指代manufacturers

B：they 和 their同样有A中的问题

C: those只能指人，不能指物，所以，只能指代cars，不会有歧义指代manufacturers，正确。

D：their问题同A,B

E：对比对象不对等：more后面的的" fuel-efficient small cars" 跟than后面的"at any time“ 对比元素不对等，不具有可比性，排除。

对于C选项的说明我不是很明白。

c中those就指物：cars，不指人。上面笔误了。呵呵。

Ding...
I also use "any other time" to help me select answer C.

open to discuss..

这题d错哪里啊？d的意思是变了，those, their都指代manufactures，而不是cars了，但也没什么语法错误啊,d的意思就是可以生产更多高效能的车， c是生产的车更高效, those指代车。

求教！！

问题自己解决。
好像是指代就近原则，那those就指代CARS了，但意思上应该指代MANUFACTUERS。

我還是不明白A爲什麽指代歧義，邏輯意思上不就是指代cars么？那不就是指代最近的那個名詞么？爲什麽還會歧義？

Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their production history.
A. small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their
B. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their
C. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in
D. more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their
E. more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in
E(OA:C)

A. small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their
now与today‘s 含义上重复，Today’s跟at any time比较的时候，要把自己排除在外，应该用any other更准确；their指代不明
B. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their
they were与their有含义重复，同时有指代不清可能
C. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in
those就近指代原则，指代cars，无歧义，any other用词准确
D. more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their
这句话将原句的意思扭曲了。可以将D转化成Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make more car than those at any other time production history.明显今天的技术是改进了汽车的fuel－effecient，不是生产更多的车。
E. more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in
now跟today含义重复，句子意思扭曲同D

大家有时间还是看一下老PREP笔记上这道题的解释吧，分析透彻思路清晰
