题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:代词their的指代对象只能是复数名词,但在逻辑上,应该是公司的share,而本题中公司是单数名词,因此their无指代对象。
B选项:定语从句 which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks具有就近修饰原则,其最近的名词为the country,在逻辑上,从精装书到平装书的应该是book market,不能是国家。
C选项:代词their的指代对象错误同选项(A)。
D选项:定语从句 which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks修饰对象错误同选项(B)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
这里查看了一下国外的论坛,RON是这么解释的,不选B的原因是,因为which ranges是单数形式,那么which就可能产生指代歧义,有可能指代country也有可能指代book market. 他同时指出在一些跳跃修饰的情况下,例如...the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already cost business more than $100 billion a year......, 这里的 'cost' 是复数形式,那么往前推,只有effects是复数形式,而drug 或者是 alcohol abuse 是单数形式,那这个which没有任何指代歧义,所以跳跃修饰成立
有道理,感谢搬运
