求助几道gwd上面的题目，对应着manhattan上的考点><

扣肉儿

1.OA:E
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
Q1: E中的which是指代its share of the the country’s $21 billion book    market 还是指代 book market？

Q2: Manhattan中里面有将代词指代时又一些情况是不必遵循touch rule的，即exceptions of touch rule. 其中第一点讲的是critical mission，即of-phase可以做为整体被后面的饿代词指代，那么其他的介词短语可以么？ 像是B中的book market in the country.

2.OA:A
The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.
Q1：这个就是正确答案，如果将后面which从句改为growing to be ... , 可以么？particle作为形容词修饰前面的killer whale。

Q2：“comma+V-ing”结构在主谓宾全的句子的结尾，即可以作为noun modifier修饰前面紧邻的宾语；也可以作为V modifier修饰前面的主语和宾语，表示伴随/结果。那么假如现在选项中有有一个V-ing明确的可以看出是只能做n modifier 修饰n的，这样的选项算对么？ 还是说因为有作为v modifie的可能所以会产生歧义而不能算对？


Q3: 还有一种说法是说“comma+V-ing”结构只能修饰做verb modifier，修饰主语和动词；没有comma时才能修饰n？


3.
Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in the production history.

Q:这个是正确答案。如果是“small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any other time in..”可以么？



多谢各位了！能帮忙解答哪个都可以！

1.
Q1:指代不明
Q2:the $21 billion book market in the country中， $21 billion book已经对book进行较为全面的修饰。Manhattan说，除非去掉这个mission critical modifier前面的被修饰词毫无意义，才允许which引导的从句不符合touch rule。
Plus, 选最优。

2.
Q1:应该不行，伴随状语的particle必须是瞬间动作或者表示状态的动词，而grow是个漫长的过程，应该不行。
Q2:GMAC应该不会干这种事，如果这种选项对，那其他选项必须有明显错误

3
Q：这种more than 比较应该只允许助动词（be, have, do）引导，所以不行。
Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any other time in the production history. 不对

正确的句子补全了应该这样说
Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those (cars) (that are made) at any other time in the production history (are)

关于第二题和的Q1解释的很清楚，赞！

但是第一题中我认为只有加上in the country指代才全面，去掉它就少了一部分。
Manhattan上还有一句话是 We chose the coffee table towards the back of the store, which we thought would complement our living room furniture.
Wrong, cuz which refers to store.
所以什么是“when remove the modifier, the n become meaningless” ?

关于第三题，其实more的用法很灵活，不知局限于助动词；例如 I sleep more than I should. more在这里面作为副词修饰sleep.
“make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any other time in..” 里面more作为副词修饰f-e，整个结构时make sth adj/ make adj sth

期待你的回答。
