GWD1-Q2:
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 rangingfrom 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



答案选B，我选了E。E错是因为the country's的用法吗？但是B得which有就近指代country而非market的指代混乱问题吧？



?GWD1-Q30:
The ancient Anasazi harvested such native desert vegetation as the purple-flowered bee plant, what they now commonly call wild spinach in northern Arizona and other parts of the southwestern United States.

?a) what they now commonly call
?b) a plant that they now commonly call
?c) now commonly called
?d) and is mow commonly called
?e) which it is now commonly called

答案选C,我选了B. C用如果用分词形式修饰purple-flowered bee plant前面不能加","吧？感觉加了后有修饰主语的倾向。另外B错是因为they和ancient Anasazi的单复数不一致吧？

第一道题我也选E,我也觉得B的which指代有问题；
第二题我选C，因为用排除法,AB的they不知道指谁，D肯定错，E的which it is错

谢谢。关于(1)"主句结尾是A of B，然后接which从句"   或者(2)"主句结尾是A in the B, 然后接which从句"   这两种情况,which是否可以、或者必须指代A呢？如果应该就近指代B，那前一道题我只能摊手了= =b

关于第二题排除法确实删掉其他选项，但是正确选项"the purple-flowered bee plant，now commonly called wild spinach"中，我总觉得不应该加逗号,除非是为了修饰主语或者”now commonly called wild spinach“是句子中间插入的部分。

希望高人指点！

第一题是GWD经典争议题，没人有个明说的
说B不好，那是which修饰谁的问题，但很多人倾向B，应为which可以跳跃修饰，跳跃修饰在GMAT里是允许的
说E不好，to....from...不合常规用法，看着别扭
我当初也选的E，现在我更认可B

关于to... from, prep1的127题(为了方便只贴上代入正确答案的句子)是有这样的用法的:
After decreasing steadily in the mid-1990's, the percentage of students in the United State who finished high school or earned equivalency diplomas increased in the last three years of the decade, to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and 84.8 percent in 1998.
这样的话是不是B更好？
