GWD3-Q30 AND GWD-10-Q2

Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their production history.
笔记上说their指代不明，逻辑上指代cars，可语法上更倾向于指代manufacturer
我觉得都是指代manufacturers

Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.
笔记上说which指代的是telephone，就是说是就近修饰，是因为前面主句主语marconi肯定不对，然后就近修饰吗？

你的第一个问题，是不是抄错了？语法上代词一般就近指代，因此应该是逻辑上更倾向于指代m吧？


可以在问问题的时候贴上原题么？which做代词和they/it等等作代词是不可同日而语的。

不太清楚prep为什么那么写了，不如问问aeroluseros?

首先，我觉得只有c中those是限定了指代前面的cars，没必要去研究那个their，如果你真想找错误点，那个any time是错的。另外，我也觉A的their结构上偏向指代manufacturers。要是不好理解的话，你看眼B，虽然是错的，但是那个they就比较明显的是只带cars。毕竟cars在A里面的结构是不定式，代词优先指代句子中的主语或宾语吧。B,C通过从句将cars变成了逻辑主语，指代就比较明确了。

个人一直认为语法题如果你知识点差不多了，那么就去记对的东西为什么是对的，没必要把所有错误都挑出来，只会自己烦恼自己。因为它既然是错误的，有什么需要去研究的么。去研究对的句子，它为什么是对的。

首先，at any other time 是一个考点，只能和自己以外的比较才能得出更好的结果
第二， D中两个形容词并列，让人不明白到底是更加节能，还是更小，造成混乱
由此，就可以得出C答案
