GWD1-Q2:
By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

A.    their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging
B.    from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
C.    to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging
D.    in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, 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
The key is B, why E is incorrect? Please advise me, many thanks

首先B和E在correctness上都没有大问题，但在effectiveness上  B中 $21 billion book market in the country属于b 介词 a 结构 是优于E中 country’s $21 billion book market 即 ab 结构。另外我个人觉得原句的increase也暗示了应该是从低到高去表示，即from 6 percent to 10 percent所以B相对更好。

A. their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging
B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging
D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, 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


有点晕：（   各说各的理

A. their指代the company错误。Ranging使得后面的分句没有谓语。
B. which可以跳跃指代，但是A of B in C, which的结构太过复杂，读者在读句子的时候很难立即判断出which指代的是market；注意which未必紧跟修饰词。
C. their错误同A，ranging错误同A。
D. which错误同B。of和要连接的对象离的太远不好。
E. correct。A of B, which的结构中Which指代B明确更清晰；to…from…结构中to 10 percent提前以示强调。

1．  根据单复一致 （the company后面的指代应为单数），干掉A、C
2．  B、D、E末尾都以which来修饰，检验which的修饰内容，应为market，选E

B显然是错的

which从句修饰country ， makes no sense

就该选E

首先which可以跳跃指代，其次这道题是GWD争议题，不是显然2字能解决的吧。。。。

你的分析很详细，但是“ which可以跳跃指代，但是A of B in C, which的结构太过复杂，读者在读句子的时候很难立即判断出which指代的是market”这个有点牵强吧。。。。

这个是考察固定搭配，from....to......
不能有 to 在前，我也错选E，看了前人的讨论稿。

aeoluseros

这个题目确实选E。。。。。。

酱紫(⊙o⊙)哦？？？矮油矮油~，谢谢斑竹，那就是to可以在前~~~!

daphneQQB

这题在PREP08里答案是E， 因为which最好紧跟被修饰词以免引起歧义。。。但是GWD1里答案是E。。。纠结中
