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.



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



讨论讨论吧. B 最顺眼, 可D也不太坏.

我觉得D中in its share的in与increase连用, increase是及物动词吧,不需要in吧.

同意。

I choose B; increase作动词；increase in时increase是名词；见例子

A short-term increase in the number of those in poverty can indicate a shortage of jobs because the basic number of those unable to accept employment remains approximately constant.

despite the increase in rice production among their tenant farmers

an increase in the proportion of female members has accompanied the occupational shift and has altered union policy-making in favor of organizing women and addressing women’s issues.

B和D中的,which ranges中的which会不会有指代歧义呢?既能指代market又能指代country?


不过B好象是最好的答案了.


E to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges


中的which不歧义.但是    its share of the country’s $21 billion book market好象不如its share of the $21 billion book market in the country看着顺.


请纠正.

选Bfficeffice" />
D错误


increase in...这里increase是n.


A ，C错误


their使用错误


我在B和E中徘徊


最终选B


虽然，它的定语从句修饰让我看得很不爽，给你感觉是修饰country的


但是


E中的to 10 percent from 6 percent

尤其是the country’s $21 billion book market令人无法接受

ohayo

increase 既可做及物也可做不及物.     现代英汉字典上就有 vi.         increase in power的例子啊.                


还有别的排除D的方法吗?

tianwan

ohayo: D中的from 6 percent to 10 percent的位置有问题，好像变成了share的定语，而不是句子的状语，这种二义性要尽量避免，ETS不认为这是好的修辞手段。from 6 percent to 10 percent放在increase和in的中间要好一些。


另外，from...to...是不可改成to... from...的。

明白了,多谢大家的讨论.
