The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year, largely because it was profitable only overseas, where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing to lose money in North America.
where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing
where much of their profits went to pay higher taxes, as they continued
where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued
with much of their profits going to pay higher taxes, while continuing
with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, as it continued
2."used to pay", because the profits were directly used to pay the taxes.
RON ("Used for __ing" is more indirect. E.g., My father uses this chair for watching television, but my father uses his eyes to watch television.)
B是定语,修饰overseas, 公司在海外是盈利的,但是在北美公司继续亏损,句意清楚
E是状语,修饰was profitable; as后接的句子,作连词,有像,因为,当的意思,公司在海外是盈利的,当/因为/像公司在北美继续亏损,不合逻辑
E、with的独立主格结构变了句意,把在海外税高的意思偷换为所有的(暗指)税高
【转自XDF】(C) 正确,关系副词where引导定语从句修饰名词overseas,went to pay…清楚地表达了profit的用途,while it continued表达了转折对比关系。
(D) with… +现在分词结构不能清楚地表达与overseas的关系;表示状态的动词continue不能用现在进行时态。
(E) with…+过去分词结构不能清楚地表达与overseas的关系;as作连词表示“当…时,随着”,改变了原句要表达“然而”的转折对比含义;be used for paying名词形式不如动词形式更简洁有效。

2.while是连词,连接两个完整句子,如A所写作伴随,句间关系上也不对
Ron: Used for __ing" is more indirect. E.g., My father uses this chair for watching television, but my father uses his eyes to watch television.

But the usage does not make sense, because the non-underlined part talks about losses, and the with part talks about the usage of profit. ( it shouldn't serve as a modifier to the non-underlined part since there is no logical relationship there)
独立主格with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, 往前修饰it was profitable overseas。 然而从逻辑上1)在海外盈利 和2)利润都用于支付高昂的税金 ;这两句话并不具备修饰关系
much指很多,much of指某物中的大部分,二者都跟不可数名词,与little/little of对应。
many/many of:
many指很多,many of指某群体中的很多,很大部分,接可数名词复数,与few/a few of对应。如:
Many girls like ice cream.很多女生喜欢吃冰激凌
Many of the girls in my class like ice cream.我们班的女生中有很多喜欢吃冰激凌.
