考题讲解

题目分析:
略。

选项分析:

A选项:划线部分的代词it应该同未划线部分出现的its指代对象相同,即,the company,但是,在逻辑上,在过去两年内下降的应该是公司的利润(its profits)而不是公司本身(the company)。

B选项:时态有误,had increased是过去完成时,过去完成时必须存在于有明确的过去时间点作为参照的语境中,即,表示过去的过去,本句中由于没有明确的过去时间作为参照,所以此处不能用过去完成时;it错误同(A)。

C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法上和逻辑上均是正确的。

D选项:本选项中的介词短语with a five percent increase是状语(用逗号和主句隔开的介词短语通常都是状语)。顾名思义,状语是用来修饰动词的特性或特征的。在逻辑上,“增长了5%”描述的是profit的特点,而不是be evident的特征,由于profits是名词,所以“增长了5%”必须做profits的定语

E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
