拿個當初的爭議題來舉例吧(新pp已給答案 no.210題) GWD1-Q2: By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks. A. their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges A. their 錯誤, a market 贅詞 B. 當初的爭議答案。不過在這邊which就會有指代上的問題，如果他是指最接近的country 那意思錯誤，也不能拿來指代前方整句話。 C. their錯誤。 D. 同B選項 which會有指代整句的錯誤 E. 大家極不願意選這個選項的原因有二：1. 大家都認為非生物或人類最好不要用所有格 這邊country's 打了大家一槍。2. 這邊which接單數名詞，同樣也可能產生指代不清 的問題。但是如果使用就近指代的原則，那他指的是前方的market，語意符合邏輯。 GMAT考試是在選最好的答案，有時候甚至會違反一些他們自己規定的"原則" 不過就像之前看過tony大牛說的，修辭的個選項錯誤是有"層次"性，有些是必錯 有些則"可能"會對。比如為了平行工整，不惜用冗言，也硬要平行。 像這題，如果一開始就把which加單數動詞是為錯誤 那你很快會剩下A,C 然後你就會發現AC的their絕對錯誤，那這時你就會開始覺得很怪 猶豫到底要怎麼選。 所以弄清楚邏輯意義，以及比較個選項錯誤的優劣是很重要的。 --
