With an awareness that there are connotations associated with the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B, companies conducting consumer taste tests of foods or beverages typically choose numbers such as 697 or 483 to label the products.
With an awareness that there are connotations associated with the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B
Because the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B have connotations they are aware of
Because of an awareness of the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B having connotations
Aware of the connotations of the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B
Since the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B have connotations associated with them and they are aware of it
还没有题目讲解（毕出老师会陆续发布对官方考题的解读，请保持关注）。
A，with+noun that不是伴随状语，with+（noun）+动词现在/过去分词才是伴随状语
A可以理解成公司和这个awareness一起choose numbers
形容词位于句首，省略being，作伴随状语
先剔除语法，从语义上自己解读下：
A: with+名词短语，“带着……”的意思，表示“公司带着……选择”；
B：因为这些数字等有（他们意识到的）隐含含义，所以公司……；
C：同B；
D：（因为他们）意识到这些数字等的隐含含义，公司……；
显然“意识到”这个动作作为从句的核心词更能表达逻辑关系。

【meaning】
the problem with (a) is that it says only that companies are aware "that there ARE connotations". but the companies don't necessarily know what those connotations are.
//
i am aware that discounts are available this weekend.
--> i know that there ARE discounts, but i don't necessarily know the specifics.
i am aware of the discounts available this weekend.
--> i actually know the specifics (percentages or whatever) of the discounts.
i maintain that the principal issue with choice (a) is unrelated to the "with" issue. instead, the primary problem with (a) lies in its meaning.
* According to the sentence, the companies are intentionally avoiding the use of "A", "B", "1", "2", etc. So, common sense dictates that they're aware of the reason; they are certainly not avoiding those labels at random!
the problem with (a) is that it says only that companies are aware "that there are connotations". in other words, literally, the companies just know that there are connotations -- in other words, that connotations (of some sort) exist -- but the companies don't necessarily know what those connotations are.
the correct answer, on the other hand, explicitly states that the companies are "aware of the connotations" -- i.e., aware of the actual nature of those connotations.
analogy:
i am aware that discounts are available this weekend.
--> i know that there ARE discounts, but i don't necessarily know the specifics.
i am aware of the discounts available this weekend.
--> i actually know the specifics (percentages or whatever) of the discounts.
* (A), (C), and (E) don't deliver the intended meaning.
I.e., these choices don't actually say that the companies know what the connotations are. It just says that the companies know "that there are connotations".
This is a HUGE difference. If the distinction is not immediately obvious to you, consider the following sentences:
1/ I know that there are passwords for all of your bank accounts.
2/ I know the passwords for all of your bank accounts.
永远都记不住aware是形容词。。。
和with无关，而是逻辑意思 the problem with (a) is that it says only that companies are aware "that there are connotations". in other words, literally, the companies just know that there are connotations -- in other words, that connotations (of some sort) exist -- but the companies don't necessarily know what those connotations are.
i am aware that discounts are available this weekend. 知道有discount这件事，但不知道具体
i am aware of the discounts available this weekend.
A/C
C，aware是形容词，comma+adj，省略be动词作状语，类似于现在/过去分词作状语的用法。
如：Content about the achievement, she smiles.
Aware that something is wrong, they stopped.
A，with+noun that不是伴随状语，with+（noun）+动词现在/过去分词才是伴随状语
A可以理解成公司和这个awareness一起choose numbers
With+名词+现在/过去分词，是独立主格。With+名词+that不是独立主格，不能做状语修饰一个句子
E.g: **With an awareness that the price in mall is too high, consumer chooses to shop online.
A do sth with B,A和B一起做某事。会让人误以为consumer choose to shop online with an wareness.--------by lizzyfly
这道题目我错选了B，其中B很多人说他的they指代不清，但其实你只要看一下整个句子便会发现，他的逻辑主语始终是companies，不可能是其他的，所以这个不是B错的理由；至于为什么B错，我只能根据答案是D出来反推，唯一找到的合理解释是，这句话前后并没因果关系，而用D选项的省略状语从句（即分词做状语）可以很好的规避不用连词而减少因果的意思。
还希望这道题能有毕出老师解答一下正确的解释
B选项不是错在they，B选项的主干意思是因为数字和字母有connotation，（公司意识到变成了次要成分），所以公司选择数字，这样主句从句之间的逻辑关系是不合理的，应该是公司意识到有关系，所以公司选择。错不在因果，在于成分的变化。

D，省略了being的伴随
A：帶著這樣一個認識做選擇；
B：因為有被認識到的聯繫，重點不是練習，而是認識到練習；
C：因為有認識，有認識不重要，但是要知道認識到了什麼練習，有聯繫也不重要，因為練習是客觀事實，重點是認識到了什麼練習；
D：因為意識到了練習，所以做出了選擇，最為合理；
E：同B。
* Modifiers like "...(that) they are aware of" are not ok in formal English; you'd want "of which they are aware" (or something totally different, e.g., "that they know") instead.
Similarly:
the person I spoke to --> no; the person to whom I spoke --> yes.
the stores (that) most people shop at --> no; the stores at which most people shop --> yes.
The "no"s here are worth noticing because they are cornerstones of SPOKEN English (i.e., an altogether different language). If English isn't your first language, then avoiding these will, ironically, be much easier than if it were.
"There is / there are..." is just another way of saying that things exist, or that they are in a certain place.
It's certainly not a way of expressing emphasis. As far as the GMAT is concerned, there's no difference between "there are Xs" and "Xs exist", and there's no difference between "there are Xs in this place" and "Xs are in this place".
---- YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE FOR THE TEST ----
In terms of the GMAT, as I stated above the line, there's no difference.
In general usage, in fact, the construction without "there is/are" is generally more emphatic.
e.g.,
Mr. Wong, there are two people in your office. --> ok, we're just counting people, presumably for some reason mentioned earlier in the conversation.
Mr. Wong, two people are in your office. --> I specifically want to draw your attention to the people. "They want to see you", or "You should be aware that they're there; maybe you don't want them there."
先排除C，Because of an awareness of the numbers... 结构冗余
BE的they指代不清，排除；
剩下最具有迷惑性的AD；
btw这里的with用法没有问题
摘自RON：
the problem with (a) is that it says only that companies are aware \"that there are connotations\". in other words, literally, the companies just know that there are connotations -- in other words, that connotations (of some sort) exist -- but the companies don\'t necessarily know what those connotations are.
the correct answer, on the other hand, explicitly states that the companies are \"aware o
大概意思就A.公司知道有这么一个意思 但D.公司知道12AB的意思，所以选择数字xxxx
D总体更佳。
the initial modifier, "aware of...", has neither a subject nor a verb, so this is definitely not a run-on
the problem with A is that the adjectival Modifier is wrong here, it reads as if the Taste Test is Conducted WITH the awareness. So it seems as if the opening modifier is modifying the test not the companies.
c）省略了being，伴随状语。
1) 介词短语:on account of, because of, despite (in despite of), as a result of之后只跟简单的名词短语。若其后面跟的是动名词或名词所有格+动名词短语(sb’s doing),或名词短语之后用一复杂的现在分词来修饰时,应改为与其相同意义的连词because, although等引导的从句形式。
(A) 句子结构不够简洁
(B) they指代不清, 既可以向前指代numbers, letters又可以向后指代companies
(C) Because of + n + having…表现复杂,应该改为Because从句
(D) 正确, aware of 置于句首修饰companies, 句子结构简单,意思清晰
(E) have connotations associated with them表达复杂;they指代不清,it无指代
A选项 awareness后面跟了that引导的同位语从句，核心词是there are connotations 表示：这里有connotation（内涵，暗示）意思不对。
A的there are存在冗长啰嗦的问题。
awareness和aware都正确的情况下，优先考虑吧aware形式。
这道题真的纯靠语法选，要不然我感觉A的语义会更好一些......
