that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed
it is closing up to one-fourth of its stores, which accounted for its poor sales

题目分析：
本题难度较大，有些选项会难以取舍，需要大家深刻的掌握通常成分读取字面意思的能力。
选项分析：
A选项：本选项时态有误，由于Trans World Entertainment Corporation是在过去发出了声明的（announce是过去时），因此，该公司的商店应是在之前就销量不好了，即，are poor至少需要用过去时来表示。
B选项：本选项较难排除。which accounted for its poor sales是非限定性定语从句，只能修饰名词，不能修饰句子。所以accounted for的主语只能是stores，这是不合乎逻辑的。
另外，时态错误同选项(A)。
C选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项：不定式短语to be closing up to one-fourth of its stores需改为宾语从句。这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。用之于本题，显然划线部分是announce的宾语，其形式应根据谓语动词的约束力来判断，announce的约束力较弱，应用宾语从句来表达。
E选项：按照成分来阅读，本选项中having poor sales是announce的宾语，such that引导的是状语从句，语意为：
因为公司声明了销量不好，所以最多1/4的店将会关门。
这两句间没有因果关系，即，应该是因为销量不好，所以关门，不是因为“声明销量不好”，所以关门。
announce等报告类动词，后面的that不是不能省吗。。。
In most cases on the GMAT, a reporting verb such as announced will be followed by that.
This SC -- which is from GMATPrep -- illustrates an important exception to this rule:
When a subject is reporting information about ITSELF, the GMAT may omit that from the noun-clause serving as the direct object of the reporting verb.
The typical construction is as follows:
SUBJECT + REPORTING VERB + it + VERB.
#announce+从句可以不加that！！#
A中时态错误
B时态错误，account for意思相反
D idiom错误，应该是announce +(that)+Clause/announce+noun/announce sth to sb/announce to sb sth.
E 时态错误，having done累赘
错选A，和C的区别也在于句间关系
A选项是说商店被关，但是没有说谁关，它的前面一句在说公司宣布了一件事情，所以用公司发出这个动作更合理，C选项明确表示 it was closing，可以和前面公司宣布的事情连结起来，所以选C
小结：并不是说被动语态一定不好，但是做题时要对被动语态敏感，需要根据距间关系判断是不是这个动作有明确的发出对像，如果有明确发出对象就要用主动语态
a、时态❌
b、which不能指代前面一整个句子❌
c、✅
d、不定式用法❌
e、“因为公司声明了销量不好，所以最多1/4的店将会关门” 语意错误❌
which accounted for its poor sales是非限定性定语从句，只能修饰名词，不能修饰句子。所以accounted for的主语只能是stores，这是不合乎逻辑的
Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains, announced it was closing up to one fourth of its stores because of poor sales
拥有 Record Town 和 Saturday Matinee 零售连锁店的 Trans World Entertainment Corporation 宣布，由于销售不佳，将关闭多达四分之一的门店
A. 时态错误, TWEC announced that since sales……are poor, they will…, announced与are, will时态不一致；
此外， they在语法上可以指代sales，但是在逻辑上应该指代its stores，存在歧义，不正确。
B．时态错误，同A。首先，在此which只有指代了前面整句逻辑才合理，但which在GMAT里面无法指代前面整句。
其次即便which能指代前面整句， which account for:说明（解释） …的原因，此处将句意变为了“关门是poor sales的原因”，所以不正确。
C． Correct；如果宾语从句引导词that不补出，依然能使正常读者清晰断句，且announce后面常常不补出。
D． announce to do是错的，正确用法是announce sth.或者announce+从句； （on account of是否可用，仍待GMAT另外说明，从未在正确句子中出现过） 。
E． announce having poor sales累赘(having是一个动名词gerund)， unidiomatic；
will时态错误，同A； suchthat用法错误。
A、时态，announced，are，will， they歧义
B、account for解释说明，store不能解释poor sales
C:如果宾语从句引导词that不补出，依然能使正常读者清晰断句，且announce后面常常不补出
1.动词时态，A的are用错，B的is用错，因为主句是过去式。AB错
will用法也错，AE错
2.代词，A的they可能指代sales，有歧义，A不好
3.修饰词，C的which修饰的对象是stores，不符合句意，C错
4.idiom,announce to do是错误用法，D错
announce固定搭配：
(1) announce something to somebody 或者 announce to somebody something (相当于宾语后置)
(2) announce a decision/intention/plan (在这个时候如果plan等后面接to do不会产生to do做状语修饰announce的歧义)*:The government has announced plans to create 10,000 new jobs.
(3) announce (that)
(4) announce somebody/yourself 通报...的到达;通知...已准备好（注意这个短语有专门意思）
错误用法：
(1)announce to do/be sth.
5.简洁，E的having poor表达错误，E错。
A. 时态错误，主句时态是announced，宾语从句中变成一般现在时了
B. 时态错误，主句时态是announced，宾语从句中变成一般现在时了，account for是解释说明...的原因
C. right，不了解announce后面的that在主语宣布自身信息时是可以省略的。这里Corporation宣布的是关于他自身的消息的
D. 短语错误，只有
1. announce (that) Clause
2. announce sth
3. announce sth to sb
4. announce to sb sth
没有announce to do的用法！！！
E. having poor sales只能动名词做announce宾语，such that引导的状语从句与主句没有关系，不是声明导致店铺关闭的
Announce 宣布一件事，后面不能加to do
announce引导宾语从句的that可以省略！
OA: Trans World Entertainment Corporation announced it was closing up to one fourth of its stores.
Here, Trans World is reporting information about itself.
As a result, it is permissible to omit that after the reporting verb announced.
Here, announced to be closing is unidiomatic.
Worse, the implication of to be closing is that Trans World Entertainment Corporation (the preceding subject) is about TO BE CLOSING.
Not the intended meaning.
The intended meaning is that UP TO ONE-FOURTH OF THE STORES will be closing.
Eliminate D.
B难道不是错在is吗？主句announced过去时，从句的时态也要退一格
A选项：本选项时态有误，Were poor 。。。 would be closed.......
A时态错误
不是啊，这道题A不应该是错在they没有指代吗，主语是个单数名词啊，发出close这个动作的也只能是这个公司
be closed/be closed/be closed是被动 是stores被关
登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
B选项因果弄反了，是poor sale导致STORE CLOSE, 不是 store account for poor sale
原句是说announced，AB时态不对
C announce that...that可以省略
D．announce to do是错的，正确用法是announce sth.或者announce+从句
on account of= bc of
