(D) have suggested corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified a wide range of（B）

这题为什么选B？总觉得B的这个it不从指代啊。

第一题it 指代the term
第二题题干后面都说了 four years ago.
所以是过去时。而且比较的是thirty-two pupils。说是那时候多少个孩子拥有1台电脑。所以用were。

第一题首先it 指代是完全指代的前面the term，如果有疑惑的话 可以带进去试试看 the term has come to signify a wide range of。。。。而且纵观整句话，未划线部分term及其所含是单数，其他均为复数。结构上 头对头指代也非常平行。

第二题前面的there is 是根据 后面的 one microcomputer 单数使用 is 后面的 there were比较补出强调4年前。不同的功能。而且这里不存在is还是were的考点，只有补不补的考点。不要太纠结小考点，注意gmat的整体要求。

拙见，希望共同交流

同意楼上。根据其他几个明显错误的点。已经足够做出该题了。不应该太执着于那些小点。
