from emphasizing its chemicals business to expanding
B选项 itself 属于多余,直接move from doing sth. to doing sth. 更加简洁。
而then和from ... to ...表达的意思重复,都表达时间先后次序
1、from……to……表达了先后顺序,then to多余,B错!
2、move可以及物也可以不及物,I move the desk to a corner.
当表示移动自己时,不用说move oneself,我搬去了非洲,I move to Africa.不能说I move myself to Africa.
重点分析B和E。B选项 itself 属于多余,直接move from doing sth. to doing sth. 更加简洁。而then和from ... to ...表达的意思重复,都表达时间先后次序,而GMAT考试中,同一个句子不能存在表达重复意思的词,因而排除B。
GMAT考试考察的最优的选项,正确的选项不一定的最优的选项,最优的选项应该是表达简洁的句子。
不是into后面与from后面平行
