再次确认这两题的答案

My answers: E, C.
1: "selling ..." 比 "with ... sold" 好．　Ａ中"which"指代不请．
2. "conceive of .... as ..." 是习语，　"a tool for private conversation that ...",  that clause 可以修饰"a tool"．　因为"it"前面有";", it 指代"radio"问题不大，可以忍受．

第二题c的结构是这样的

Marconi's conceive of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone--------〉Marconi's conceive of the radio that could substitute for the telephone  as a tool  for private conversation

另外，说到歧义，这里我觉得不能算歧义，因为通过逻辑，可以明显看出，it指radio,不指telephone

还有查Longman:conceive of something/somebody as something

是固定用法

第一题对于with 的问题现在还没搞清楚

我从og中查到一个例子，with是修饰主语的，这里选e的话，with 修饰的就是 90,000 tons ,有点搞

here is what I think:

there is no ambiguity in A, though the expression is kind of lengthy.

"almost half of which" indicates "which" refers to somthing countable. and if you notice the antecedents in the main sentence "90000 tons sold to foreign market", then the countable part should be 90000 tons rather than foreign market, which is exactly what is intended to say. While E may lead to the misunderstanding that "half" can refer to either "foreign markets" or "90000 tons". I think A is better in terms of clarity.

1 In little more than a decade, Argentina has become the world's leading exporter of honery, with nearly 90,000 tons a year sold to foreign market, almost half of which going to US.

B. with the sale of nearly 90,000 tons to foreign market, and almost half of it that goes

C. with the sale to foreign markets of nearly 90,000 tons a year, with almost half of it going

D. selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, and almost half of it goes

E. selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, with almost half going

这题到底是A还是E？答案给的是A

同意楼上观点，对which的指代解释的很清楚。E中half指代就不那么清楚了...

1 In little more than a decade, Argentina has become the world's leading exporter of honery, with nearly 90,000 tons a year sold to foreign market, almost half of which going to US.

E. selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, with almost half going

这题到底是A还是E？答案给的是A

For A: almost half of which going to US.

这里的going 应该是不对的吧？ XX of which 的补充说明后面都是用原形动词 怎幺可以用分词呢？还是我弄错了？ 個人以為是E Selling用來修飾前面的become恰到好處

Q2: I can't fine the usage of "conceive of A to be B", the usage of "conceive" is like "view". In OG, view A to be B is wrong usage
