宾语从句that省略

二丫zheng

Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains, announced that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed.
A. that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed.
B. it is closing up to one-fourth of its stores, which accounted for its poor sales
C. it was closing up to one fourth of its stores because of poor sales.
D. to be closing, on account of poor sales, up to one-fourth of its stores.
E. having poor sales, such that up to one-fourth of its stores will be closed.

宾语从句不是不可以省略that吗？这是什么情况呢？

我觉得A不对，they不可以指代stores，如果指代corporation就更错了（句意和单复数都错。）
如果是C，it的指代难道不会造成混乱？不太懂。
这是什么里面的题？

这是个讨论了很长时间的问题了，据说say和announce后面的that是可以的省略的。
