我觉得是D~GWD里面好多题目都是争议非常啊~这题我觉得后面从cost开始平行对称到and do sth。

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

这题，不知道到底应该是B还是E呢？

我觉得选A呢~~因为那个carrying感觉很诡异~~修饰M感觉上是表示正在进行的状态~~A后面的也很平行啊~~

呵呵，个人感觉不同啦~争议题本来就是因为这个才被称作争议题~

即使有争议，也应该以PREP的答案为准吧
我认为从意义上来说，A比较合理。我做的时候选的A
这个句子表达了两个目的，一是Minivans能carry多少人，二是他和most SUV相比有什么优点。第一个and连接这两个意思，第二个and是连接那些优点。
这里compare with插入语的位置很重要，影响了整体的表达目的。显然作者想表达的是carry多少人并非其独特的优点，后面那些东东才是其比SUV好的地方

这个在很多年以前应该有十几页的讨论，LZ可以到GWD的讨论贴去翻一翻~

选E，好像PREP还是OG12有这个题。

选E。which ranges的主语应该是market，根据就近原则选择，应该是E比较好。Prep里面也有这题。

PREP给出正确答案A。

D选项只是“形合”，即单纯是cost、get、allow、have形成了平行。而A的and有没有破坏平行？
实际上，动作carry和后面几个动作并不平行。这个句子的逻辑关系是，“Carry”这个动作是没有参加“compared”的，所以自成一个层次，而另外四个动词是“compared”的项目，它们另外组成了一个四连珠的动词平行结构。故而A中的第一个“and“恰恰是必要的。
