212.
Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee
retail chains, announced that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will
be closed
A. that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed
B. it is closing up to one-fourth of its stores, which accounted for its poor sales
C. it was closing up to one fourth of its stores because of poor sales
D. to be closing, on account of poor sales, up to one-fourth of its stores
E. having poor sales, such that up to one-fourth of its stores will be closed
此题选C,其他知识点明白，但有人说B时态错了，我就没感觉。就好像说she said she loves you.这句话一样，从句没必要用过去式啊，变成过去式甚至意思就变成她说她爱过你了。。。我认为B中 account for那里错了。就没想明白时态问题。

义务帮顶。

随便问一下这个that的省略问题。。。

B 中which不能指代整个句子吧而且it is closing up 感觉是一直在close，没必要用进行时

愚见

我只是觉得他说出的话的原话肯定是现在的时态，不能是过去的失态。我觉得以前的解释有误。

这个··时态一定要一样···

There is an issue of reported speech here. In reported speech, what someone said is taken one tense back because it is a relative clause. For example:

Let's say that some says, "I am happy."
Reported speech: She said (in the past) that she was happy.

And it should be: I love U
Reported speech: she said that she loved U

不是在report speech中，可以存在不一样的tense.
for example:OG74
A 1972 agreement between Canada and the United States reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump.
“are allowed": present tense verb(agreement remained in effect)
