以下是引用spotato在2004-10-9 1:29:00的发言：

第一题，C不对，正确答案应该是A. C中的which 指代错误，同时A中同位语优先。

第二题，claim to be决定了只有A,B可以选。A中的and不平行，所以只有选B。B中用了which is, 说明它指代了一个单数名词。往前找，就能唯一确定digital camcoder，所以是没有歧义的。因此是正确选项。

可是which不是指代最近的名次么，那不就是指代the world?请nn指教！！

There are no legal limits,
as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be
caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through
overfishing.

    

    

    

1. There
   are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of
   monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their
   depletion through overfishing.
   
2. There
   are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike
   cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them
   because they are being overfished.
3. There
   are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but
   not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through
   overfishing.
   
4. Unlike
   cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish,
   which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.
5. Unlike
   catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching
   monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.

    

i think A is a better answer than C.  monkfish/cod/haddock can be either singulr or plural without changing forms, so the "their" is not a concern.

in C, the "which" really looks suspicious, according to GMAT rules.

The electronics company has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs less than 11 ounces.

    

    

    

1. to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs
2. to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing
   

   
               

3. is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs
4. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs
5. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing

    

prefer D than the rest. 

-"has unveiled what it claims is" is not rare on newspapers

- "which is... and weighs..." is a perfect parellelism

in B, besides arguable position of "which is", "weighing..."'s placement looks awkward too.

Open to discussion though.
