问题 By offering lower prices and a menu of personal communications options, such as caller identification and voice mail, the new telecommunications company has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced them to offer competitive prices.
选项 A、has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced them
B、has not only captured customers from other phone companies, but it also forced them
C、has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced these companies
D、not only has captured customers from other phone companies but also these companies have been forced
E、not only captured customers from other phone companies, but it also has forced them
答案 C
解析 Parallelism; Verb form
The sentence intends to show the effect of the new telecommunications company on the other phone companies. In the original sentence, however, the antecedent of the pronoun them is unclear; it may refer to companies or to customers. If it refers to customers, the sentence structure illogically has the new company forcing customers to offer competitive prices.
A The referent of them is unclear.
B The referent of them is unclear, and the use of it is redundant.
C Correct. The verbs are parallel in this sentence, and these companies is clearly the object of the verb forced.
D The sentence does not maintain parallelism, unnecessarily changing from active voice (has captured) to passive voice (have been forced).
E The referent of them is unclear. Captured and has forced are not parallel in verb tense, and the use of it is redundant.
The correct answer is C.
