Answer is C

小弟的疑問在於

A選項的意思應該是：因為四分之一的店業績不好，它們(四分之一的店)將會被關閉
C選項應該是：因為業績不好，公司會關閉四分之一的店

A是關閉那些業績不好的店面(佔1/4)
C是因為公司業績不佳，所以要關閉1/4的店

C沒有改變句意之嫌嗎？


又，其實也想問，A選項的錯誤點在哪裡啊？
莫非是they "will" be closed 出了岔子？


感謝各位高手解惑

A選項
就結構來看
they會指SALES...句意不合,sales不會被關

C選項it很明顯指
Corporation

A的句意有時候不一定100%對
考試的時候建議3分句意就好了
不然真的做不完
個人小小建議~~

感謝樓上的無私分享。


C選項我也覺得沒有問題啦，只是好奇A的問題出在哪裡 ??

they 的確有指代不確定的問題，可是它在這裡，能夠指代的只有 sales & stores


1. sales 如果被close，邏輯會不通，所以應該可以讓讀者知道這裡指的是stores 吧？

2. 代名詞優先指代最近的對象，所以是they？ 我不知道是不是可以這樣用 > <


以上兩種說法，有出現在其他題目正確解答的解釋上，只是不曉得能否用在這裡。

就是想說利用速度，題目沒有仔細看， announce + that 以及 because of 少選

所以就選A


仔細研讀之後，也不知道A的明顯錯誤之處 ~~~~
