opeman SC 新题 9 讨论

LES

Q9: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

Answer:E  why not B? 我选D, E中to 10 percent from 6 percent 与 its share 是什么关系？

Jerry: E中的to 10 percent from 6 percent作状语 修increase, 而不是its share

那么请问its share of the country’s $21 billion book market在句中又是做什么成分？谢谢！

我好像曾听白大侠说gmat正确选项里不会出现A of B's C的用法，怎么这一条也有例外么？

能从gamt题里找到这种形式，而且是正确选项就可以给白大侠致命一击了，呵呵

LES

我认同pumpkin mm 关于同位语选项表达清楚的说法。可是如果说their = publishing divisions 的话，那为什么不用their shares？

以下是引用pumpkin在2004-4-26 17:54:00的发言：

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.

选A. their=publishing divisions

from ... to...

a market同位语

别的选项都有问题

问题是这个share应该理解成company的，还是那两个publishing division的，我倾向于前者。

这两个divisions合并后成了一个，原来的都不存在了，还怎么把their share 从..提高到..

同意marie mm，再回到我的问题吧！

Q9: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

其实句子如果简写就是这样：

increase its share (of..) from % to %

dashasha

同意mariezhu对句子的简写。我觉得选E。应该是company's share，不是two divisions' share.

LES

根据marie mm的说法，是不是将from % to % 提前，以使which ranges 可以就近修饰 market? 谢谢！

LES

pumpkin mm的说法真是很有道理，而且我也一直觉得这里用a market同位语是最清楚的表达。但是一直困惑于到底是share of the divisions 还是share of the company ，即 their share 还是its share，(their shares 已被mm 说服是错的)。

我的想法是从逻辑上来讲，不管这个公司内部有多少个divisions，它与整个国家的市场(the country's market)来比较的话，就是以一个公司为单位来比，即各个公司在这个市场上所占的份额，而非其内部的几个division。换句话说，如果这个公司还有其他的第三个division的话，只是提高了这两个合并后的division 在市场上的份额的话，对公司来讲意义并不大。即公司要比较的是作为一个整体单位在市场上的份额。(有点绕口令，不知大家是否明白我的意思？)

然而这题的难点就在于满足了我所说的逻辑问题的选项就没有使用a market同位语这样的清楚表达方式！

请NN们再来说服说服偶，谢谢！

明白LES对pumpkin的意见。

这题，现在看来：每个答案都有瑕疵。：（
