请教两道语法题

1、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.

B.from 6 percent to 10 percent its share 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

B和E应该选哪个？没有看出考什么语法点？




2、Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that competeone day may be partners the next.

A. Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete

B. Although the lines of competition are clearly defined in industries that are more established, they are blurred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as competing companies

答案是B，主要觉得competing companies one day may be partners the next.表述很别扭，另外不知道A错在哪里了？求指导

对啊，看这道题GWD答案是B，PREP答案是E，好迷惑。难道GWD上面还有错误答案么？

经人指导应该是E，which ranges  距离所修饰的对象market更近

A 中至少有三处致命伤之多，不过这在论坛里已经是一个讨论的尘埃落定的题了，可以搜索一下。

我对“X of Y of Z,which verb ….”的总结如下：
最根本的一点：”comma+which" must refer to an inanimate noun which agrees in number with the verb following “which”. Also the antecedent should be as close to the comma as possible.
中文的意思：语法上，“comma+which” 的先行词必须满足非生命个体和单复数与 “which”后动词相匹配两个基本条件。在满足此两个基本条件的前提下，尽可能地离comma近。 比如，“ X of/in Y, which…”中，X与Y 皆满足以上两个基本条件，那么因为Y离 comma较近，所以语法上which的先行词就是Y。但是现实是，语义上X才使which所指代的对象。那么此时语法和语义出现矛盾。那么这里的“comma+which”用法就是错误的。要寻找其他表达方式来消除语义和语法上的矛盾。

如果“X of Y in Z,which verb….” 中，从Z推起。如果Z不满足两个基本条件种的任何一’，则语法上Z就不是which的先行词。接着再看Y,如果Y也不能同时满足两个基本条件，则语法上Y也不是which的先行词。接着看X，如果X满足两个基本条件，则语法上，X是which的先行词或者指代的对象。最后要从语义角度做最终判断，如果语义上，which指代X make  sense。那么此处的“comma+which”用法正确合理。如果语义上，which指代的应该是Y或者Z，而非X，那么语义和语法存在矛盾之处。“comma+Which”用法就错误，需找寻其他表达方法来消除矛盾。
