题目分析：
本题难度较大，有些选项会难以取舍，需要大家深刻的掌握通常成分读取字面意思的能力。
选项分析：
A选项：本选项时态有误，由于Trans World Entertainment Corporation是在过去发出了声明的（announce是过去时），因此，该公司的商店应是在之前就销量不好了，即，are poor至少需要用过去时来表示。
B选项：本选项较难排除。which accounted for its poor sales是非限定性定语从句，只能修饰名词，不能修饰句子。所以accounted for的主语只能是stores，这是不合乎逻辑的。
另外，时态错误同选项(A)。
C选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项：不定式短语to be closing up to one-fourth of its stores需改为宾语从句。这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。用之于本题，显然划线部分是announce的宾语，其形式应根据谓语动词的约束力来判断，announce的约束力较弱，应用宾语从句来表达。
E选项：按照成分来阅读，本选项中having poor sales是announce的宾语，such that引导的是状语从句，语意为：
因为公司声明了销量不好，所以最多1/4的店将会关门。
这两句间没有因果关系，即，应该是因为销量不好，所以关门，不是因为“声明销量不好”，所以关门。
Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains, announced it was closing up to one fourth of its stores because of poor sales
拥有 Record Town 和 Saturday Matinee 零售连锁店的 Trans World Entertainment Corporation 宣布，由于销售不佳，将关闭多达四分之一的门店
A. 时态错误, TWEC announced that since sales……are poor, they will…, announced与are, will时态不一致；
此外， they在语法上可以指代sales，但是在逻辑上应该指代its stores，存在歧义，不正确。
B．时态错误，同A。首先，在此which只有指代了前面整句逻辑才合理，但which在GMAT里面无法指代前面整句。
其次即便which能指代前面整句， which account for:说明（解释） …的原因，此处将句意变为了“关门是poor sales的原因”，所以不正确。
C． Correct；如果宾语从句引导词that不补出，依然能使正常读者清晰断句，且announce后面常常不补出。
D． announce to do是错的，正确用法是announce sth.或者announce+从句； （on account of是否可用，仍待GMAT另外说明，从未在正确句子中出现过） 。
E． announce having poor sales累赘(having是一个动名词gerund)， unidiomatic；
will时态错误，同A； suchthat用法错误。
