77. Though the term "graphic design" may suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging work, from package designs and company logotypes to signs, book jackets, computer graphics, and film titles.
(A) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging
(B) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, it has come to signify a wide range of
(C) suggest corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified widely ranging
(D) have suggested corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified a wide range of
(E) have suggested laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging

别的没有什么问题，但是看了og后我还是不明白widely ranging和a wide range of 的区别？请各位解释一下，谢谢！

Choice A contains an agreement error: the term requires the singular it has in place of the plural they have. Furthermore, widely ranging is imprecise: graphic design work does not range about widely but rather comprises a wide range of activities.

我觉得这里是一个词性改变导致词义改变的例子。A这里ranging可以认为是现在分词作形容词，因为是现在分词，那么range就是动词的含义，就是包含，移动的意思。而B这里的range是名词含义，就是范围的意思。

所以OG强调了这一点, graphic design work does not range about widely but rather comprises a wide range of activities. range不是动词的含义，而是名词的含义。

哦！明白了！原来range有动词的含义，我当时都没看懂它说什么，惭愧！！

谢谢版主！

还有意思上的区别,这是og11里说的,widely ranging 表示一种convert from one topic to another,而a wide range of 表示 一种work中的其他方面,还有什么range from ,range that 我就不知道什么意思了
