支持答案e

选E.

引用一个NN的话:

"前面有人提到跳跃修饰在某些情况下也是可以的（即which不一定要紧跟被修饰的词），但是这仅当which所指代的名词从单复数上判断可以无歧义地鉴别出来的时候才成立。否则，就需要which紧跟被修饰词。在B选项中，which前面的book market 和country都是单数，从语法上讲都可以成为which (ranges)的指代对象，所以应该优先指代country，而不是book market。这样以来，逻辑意思就错了。"

眼睛已经瞅的疼死了。同意scorp_w的看法．我发现做ＧＷＤ真是累．被题目打击的一塌糊涂然后还得被讨论整的晕头转向．

看到这么早前的讨论，看到这个GG的留言，真是心有戚戚。不知道曾经留言的各位现在都在世界的哪个角落，是不是都实现了自己的梦想，但是看到大家都曾为自己的梦想努力，很受鼓舞！一定要努力！

倾向于选E

有人在new york times上找到了原文，看了原文，支持下B。这道题目的关键可能在于用所有格还是介词短语。

供大家参考

找到在 New York Times 上的句子了:
By merging its Bantam Doubleday Dell division with Advance Publications' Random House, Bertelsmann will increase to 10 percent from nearly 6 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the United States, which ranges from Bibles to mass-market paperbacks.

这是不是证明了大家考虑的to from颠倒是没有问题的呢，反而说明了E的正确性，汗

to from的颠倒没有问题。所以我认为考点可能在于用所有格country's还是用介词短语in the country。大家再看看

bjleo

投E一票

to...from...是正确的表达方式吧

觉得B中的which会引起歧义

既然是这样,不是证明了B的正确吗(虽然我选了E,但现在不得不承认B更好)

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

这道题目的关键不是from ... to...的语序问题,而是 定从是否有修饰歧义

NYT上面的句子,恰好证明了前面ring_cheng的观点,即 定从在这里并非就近修饰country,而是修饰A of B 结构,即 share of the $21 billion book market 中的market,因为这种结构 A合B都可以被指代
