题目分析：
略。
选项分析：
A选项：介词短语of consumers having the power to change companies by the simple expedient of refusing to buy是the simple thesis的定语，这个定语部分的核心词为consumers（having the power是现在分词短语，做consumers的定语）。在逻辑上，一个简单的主题应该是一件事，即，消费者有改变的权力，而不是消费者本身（一定是消费者做了什么事为主题，没有消费者的主题）。因此，这个介词短语应改为一个同位语从句。
B选项：核心词错误同选项(A)。
C选项：连词where引导的定语从句必须修饰地点名词，不能修饰Shopping for a Better World。另外，冒号后虽然可以用名词短语，但此处冒号后的核心词变成了consumers，错误同选项(A)。
D选项：with a thesis that is a simple one是一个介词短语，其看起来可以是主句the Council on Economic Priorities began publishing Shopping for a Better World的状语。但在逻辑上，应该是Shopping for a Better World这本杂志的主题，不能是publish的主题。
E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
whose既可以指代人，也可以指代物
这个定语部分的核心词为consumers（having the power是现在分词短语，做consumers的定语）。在逻辑上，一个简单的主题应该是一件事，即，消费者有改变的权力，而不是消费者本身（一定是消费者做了什么事为主题，没有消费者的主题）。因此，这个介词短语应改为一个同位语从句
容易误选D D选项with a thesis的主语是the Council，不合逻辑，应该是Shopping for a Better World
E选项中，whose既可以指代人，也可以指代物
笔记 核心词
whose既可以修饰人、也可以是物品
Prep2008E1-SC-192：
A：with介宾短语是状语，表示began的动作是有主题的，不合理
B：thesis of consumers having 一个顾客的主题，不合理
C：where引导的定语从句一定要修饰地点
D：with a thesis是状语修饰began，不合理，什么动作带主题，不能太牛逼
E：whose既可以修饰人、也可以是物品，只要有所有格就行
这个杂志名字起的好，《为了更好的世界买买买》
for instance:
i took a picture of dolphins frolicking in the surf --> correct, since the picture was of dolphins (not "of frolicking")
the consumers' HAVING the power is the actual thesis, not the consumers themselves, so "of consumers having" is wrong.
(a) and (b), "having the power..." is an -ing modifier that's not followed by a comma. therefore, it's a modifier that serves as an adjective, modifying the immediately preceding noun (= "consumers").
- since it's a modifier - can be omitted from the basic structure of the sentence, leaving behind the following skeleton:
...with the simple thesis of consumers.
consumers aren't a thesis.
A 核心词变化
B 核心词变化
C where只能修饰地点
D one指代一个thesis wordy 且thesis应该是杂志的主题 with修饰主句
E 正确
老师对于A选项的解释真是让我豁然开朗
连词where引导的定语从句必须修饰地点名词，不能修饰Shopping for a Better World。另外，冒号后虽然可以用名词短语，但此处冒号后的核心词变成了consumers，错误同选项(A)。
把for a better world 看成宾补了
A) comma + with = comma + prepositional modifier...modifies the entire previous clause.......which is not correct....it should modify the immediate preceding noun....so we should not use comma + preposition setup.
whose可以拟人
我的思路跟毕老师的不同：非划线部分带有目的状语to change，根据选项和句义，顾客有权利改变，而不是a better world杂志，也不是thesis，因此找到核心词逐个排除。剩DE两个选项，又a thesis that is a simple one，可以简化为simple thesis，排除D，最后选E，不知道这样思考有没有问题
