150.    (33009-!-item-!-188;#058&006530)

The computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival company for $950 million, which is part of a deal that will make it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market.

(A) million, which is part of a deal that will make
(B) million, a part of a deal that makes
(C) million, part of a deal making
(D) million as a part of a deal to make
(E) million as part of a deal that will make

prep笔记上说,to make是有歧义的~但我觉得无论是purchase或者是deal的目的都可以解释为make it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market.不懂~

商之隐

句子重心是：一个公司宣布一个方案，这个方案是让它成为第一。
所以判断million后的部分是对前一部分的补充说明。由前面的will purchase表明事件尚未发生。
所以排除BCD。
比较AE，发现which不能指代前面一句，所以选择E。

但是to do不可以表示未发生的事么??

商之隐

可以表示动作的目的，按照这个逻辑就是有两种理解方式：
1. 宣布that采购是一个目的；
2. 宣布，目的是成为第一。

有两种理解就是有歧义，所以错。
这道题以前已有很多讨论了，建议楼主mm多多查阅。
