E、Federal regulations once prohibited developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but such programs are
答案 E
解析 The sentence is meant to indicate that federal programs once prohibited the development of television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but such programs are now thriving in the free market conditions permitted by the Federal Communications Commission.
As worded, however, which was once prohibited... modifies the marketing of toys. This is clear for two reasons: first, the phrase immediately follows the marketing of toys; second, the verb was is singular and the noun Television programs is plural and must therefore be associated with the singular noun marketing of toys.
This indicates that the marketing of toys was once prohibited by federal regulations, but surely that is not what the sentence is supposed to mean. Rather, the sentence should assert that the development of television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys was prohibited.
A    This choice is incorrect for the reason discussed above.
B    The singular verb is incorrect. It is the Television programs that are thriving, so the plural verb are is needed.
C    This option has at least two problems. First, surely the sentence is intended to indicate that the television programs themselves are thriving rather than that the process of developing such programs is. Second, it is unclear what the awkwardly worded as once prohibited by federal regulations is intended to modify. It could mean either that the development of television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys was prohibited or that the marketing of toys itself was prohibited.
D    The intended referent of the pronoun they is unclear: it could be either Federal regulations or Television programs.
E    Correct. This choice best conveys the intended meaning.
The correct answer is E.
