猜答案選項少給一個"that"
Anwser is C.

嗯嗯 謝謝bonus

再請問一下A選項是怎麼排除的呢?

[hughes0305]

(A) that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed.
they看似代替"sales", sales怎麼會被closed呢??
題意應該說的是"stores"要被closed而非sales

那請問一下BDE選項又如何排除??
B是因為流水句嗎? 既然C選項少打了that, 那如果B選項也是少打that的話, B又要如何排除呢?
DE是因為announce必須加that來解釋宣佈什麼, 所以才排除DE嗎?
請各位大大明示~~

B: which沒有明確指出要待誰 代stores?與句意不合

D/E 句意很怪 我不會講 加上poor sales沒有明確指出 是誰的poor sales

having要少選


我也有個問題
所以announce 後面一定要加that嗎

[dibert8]

announce to +V 應該也 OK

(A) they 指代不清
(B) stores 是複數, 不能用 its
(D) Trans World Entertainment Corporation is closing: 公司要關門? 句意不合理 (or 改變句意)
(E) announce + O(受詞) , having 不能當受詞
=> (C)

[Kal-El]

我覺得這題答案是A
1.announced that S+V~....that 不可省(AT中)
2.will....不可亂改變
3.they代one-fourth of its stores...沒歧異

[dibert8]

(A) 的時態不對喔! (i.e. 過去就知道現在賣得不好,未來要關店)
