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。
AC. their 错误
BDE：例子
[1] The committee chose Mr. Smith of Left Block, who was the most experienced member, to lead all the management-related operations.
Many of you will right away discard this sentence as “incorrect” because “who” is not preceded by “Mr. Smith”, the noun it should logically refer to. Well, this sentence is absolutely correct. There is no modification error here. Here “who” correctly modifies “Mr. Smith”.
This is so because the newly added prepositional phrase “of Left Block” is a modifier that modifies “Mr. Smith”. So it is placed next to that entity. This prepositional cannot be placed elsewhere in the sentence without violating the structure and the meaning of the sentence. So now instead of just “Mr. Smith” in sentence 1, we have a “noun phrase” in sentence 2 – “Mr. Smith of Left Block”. In this scenario, “who” has the liberty to jump over the preceding preposition phrase (modifier) to modify the HEAD of this noun phrase – “Mr. Smith”
and
[2] The committee chose Mr. Smith in the last meeting, who was the most experienced member, to lead all the management-related operations.
However, the sentence [2] is not correct. Here “who” ends up modifying immediately preceding noun “the last meeting”, resulting in modifier error.
This is so because “in the last meeting” does not modify “Mr. Smith” because it is an adverbial modifier and hence cannot modify a Noun. It rather modifies the action “chose”. When did the committee choose? It did in the last meeting. This prepositional phrase can actually be placed right in the beginning of the sentence, after “The committee”, or before “Mr. Smith” to convey the intended meaning. Hence, here “who” cannot jump over the preceding noun. Notice how per the context of this sentence, the expression “Mr. Smith in the last meeting” is not a noun phrase. Contrast this with the noun phrase in the original sentence “Mr. Smith of Left Block”.
若介宾短语修饰前面的名词，则which/who可以跳跃修饰前面的名词，但例子2中的“in the last meeting”和BD中的in the country一样，虽是介宾短语但不修饰前面的名词，故不能跳跃修饰
