GWD 1-2

其实做这道题的时候，刚开始第一眼就把B和D排除了，不过后来考虑到FROM TO的位置关系，就犹豫了一下，最后选了B,

不过，现在我觉得第一感觉比较重要。这种情况下，代词指代应该放首位。

So, E is the best one.

I prefer E to B.

to 10 percent from 6 percent 强调增长，提前了

its share of the country’s $21 billion book market 没问题

        = its share of the book market + the country's $21 billion book market

which refers to the 'book market'.

答案是B, 优选.

无论从逻辑上还是从语法上, B要优于E.  不止一次讨论过WHICH的跳跃修饰了. 而E的错误却是不可原谅的.

网上搜到的老外的解答.  btw, google上可以搜到很多to 10 percent from 6的句子. 现在看来, E是好一点

If I consider only the beginning of both choices, I prefer B simply because it is clearer: when using the verb increase, one would normally expect a smaller amount followed by a larger amount. This is what happens in choice B: "will increase from 6 percent to 10 percent." Choice E is, however, unnecessarily complicated because of the inverted information ("will increase to 10 percent from 6 percent").

My opinion changes, however, when I consider another aspect of both choices.
Although "21 billion book market in the country" seems concise and very typical of English word order, "which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks" describes book market, not country, so choice B is actually illogical. Choice E is better because "which ranges . . ." follows book market (as it logically should).

If I had to choose between the two, I would, therefore, choose B Although I still consider it to be unnecessarily complicated.

這樣看來,,ANS或許E好點

E和B还有一个很大的差异，大家好象都没讨论到..
(B) from 6 percent to 10 percent its share 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
in the country和country’s是完全不一样的
country怎么可能会”有”book market呢? N’s的使用是有限制的

支持(B)

活在当下

support E.

本来我也对which能不能跨越修饰market表示怀疑？但最近翻到OG114时，发现这种用法是可以的：
OG114
From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage yet was so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.

这道题定语从句的跨越修饰够远了吧！

所以B、E的差异还请继续讨论
(B) from 6 percent to 10 percent its share 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
