绝对是E。嗬嗬！！！

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

可是E的to...from...应该是错的呀？而且B的which从句是可以修饰中心词的。B的which修饰market完全是可以的。

大全376,补充70，      In Egypt in the late Paleolithic period, the climate changed, pastures became deserts, and the inhabitants were forced to withdraw to the land bordering the Nile from their hunting grounds.

(A) inhabitants were forced to withdraw to the land bordering the Nile from their hunting grounds

(B) inhabitants had been forced to withdraw from their hunting grounds to the land that bordered the Nile

(C) inhabitants were forced to withdraw from their hunting grounds to the land bordering the Nile

(D) inhabitants having been forced to, withdrew from their hunting grounds to the land that bordered the Nile（C）

(E) inhabitants withdrew, because they were forced to, from their hunting grounds to the land bordering the Nile

答案是C，C和A的唯一区别就是from...to...,难道from...to...不能作为判据吗？

114. From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.

(A) baggage so light

(B) baggage being so light

(C) baggage, yet being so light

(D) baggage, and so light（E）

(E) baggage yet was so light

题目中，which指代作为中心词的先行词canoe，也是可以的。

请NN指教。

to 10 percent from 6 percent 一点问题都没有，这是故意迷惑我们的。我们似乎只熟悉from 6 percent to 10 percent？

不过tianwanGG你举的这个例子里A把from to 变成to from是有歧义的

可以理解成正常的withdraw to <the land bordering the Nile> from their hunting grounds

但也可以是错误的withdraw to the land <bordering the Nile from their hunting grounds>

可是楼主的这道题from to到to from倒不至于产生类似的歧义

此外我还是认为如果两个divisions已经被merged了,再说增加their market share有点说不过去.即使理解为their share, 那么6%是两个division原来所占市场份额,10%则应该是合并以后总公司所占的份额了吧,毕竟they已经不存在了.那么用一个their来修饰两个分属不同物主的事务,逻辑上是不是有歧义? 从这个角度讲不如用its

谢谢merie mm。偶被LZM坑了。

B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

可是因为中心词，B没有错啊。tony的说法有道理，但是前面的2个which远离中心词的例子也都是正确的，都是ETS写的东西。凭什么本题的B就不行。

这个偶也在犯怵...

“偶被LZM坑了”。可不能这样说，而是因为我们有时读书都过于不信自己而信牛人。雪个教训吧，嗬嗬，楼上的妹妹功力不浅哪，快到“骨灰级”啦。赫赫。

同意E. B有3个不好：

1，B中in the country 该变了原句中country的修饰关系，仔细读A,B,E中关于country's 和in the country就可以分辨出来

2。increase A from 2 to 10, 可以倒装为 increase to 10 from 2 A, 但是， increase from 2 to 10 A，觉得有点怪。

3，B中which 有3个可以指待，share, market, country, 而指代share,market时逻辑意思没有办法区分是谁对。但是大全114中which的指代从逻辑意思上只可能是canoe

答案究竟是哪个呢??

同意此看法   

我原本选B  现在被说服 改E 了
