International sporting events need not be fiscal disasters, the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates that fact.

(A) the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates that fact

(B) for example, the 1992 Olympic Games were financially successful

(C) like the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates

(D) a fact demonstrated by the 1992 Olympic Games, which were financially successful（E）

(E) as the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates

我认为D正确。the 1992 Olympic Games 应为复数

随手就是例子

Eight members of the Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, Georgia, will be wearing the U.S. colors when the Olympic Games begin next week in Greece. They will compete in the rifle, skeet, trap and pistol shooting events.

嘿嘿，我是看到讨论里说D错因为用了were， http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=57346，至于说D累赘，不敢苟同。D强调了financial successful,这正是句子要表达的，用“a fact”的结构更是起强调说明“奥运不赔钱”。而E责偏向于表明"92奥运说明奥运不赔钱"，意思上有细微差别。

其实这道题的考法所暗含的语法点比价深，首先E中as所引导的是非限制性定语从句，这里的as等同于which，其次，在非限制性定语从句中的引导词which可以指代前面句子的含义。

基于以上两点，可以判断D累赘，E简洁，清晰。

要这么说的话（as=which），E还有歧义修饰 disasters呢。而且ETS用which指代整句估计是风毛麟角。

这一点只能从逻辑上去判断了as不可能指代disasters了，which指代整句这一点我前天参考OG119时专门查了语法书。你可以参考OG119。

是这个吗？明明which修饰 effects 啊？

119.     Executives and federal officials say that the use of crack and cocaine is growing rapidly among workers, significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already are a cost to business of more than $100 billion a year.

(A) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already are a cost to business of

(B) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already cost business

(C) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, already with business costs of

(D) significant in compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and already costing business（B）

(E) significant in compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and already costs business

Choice B, the best answer, uses clear and concise phrasing to state that it is the effects of drug and alcohol abuse that already cost business the sum mentioned. In A, to business is awkwardly and confusingly inserted between cost and the prepositional phrase that modifies it, and are already a cost to business is wordy and awkward compared to cost business. In C, already with business costs of... is awkward and unclear, failing to specify that those prior effects generate the cost. Choices D and E produce faulty constructions with the phrase significant in compounding, which cannot grammatically modify the verb form is growing.

如你所说，这道题我开始读了很多遍也是这种看法，有一天在走出gmat困境里看到了一个大N的感想，特别提到了这道题中which的用法，而且驳斥了LZM，我刚开始也很不理解，后来参考了相关的语法书，反复读了这道题的含义，觉得确实which指代前面两句话的含义更恰当。个人想法，仅供参考！

大哥，这可是OG解释啊！

要错，我情愿和ETS一起错
