问题 Despite its attractiveness, investing abroad can still pose big risks, ranging from the potential for political instability in some countries to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and a serious lack of information about investments in others.
选项 A、to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and a serious lack of information about investments in others
B、to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and in others a serious lack of information about investments
C、and the shortage of regulations to protect investors and a serious lack of information about investments in others
D、and the shortage of regulations to protect investors to a serious lack of information about investments in others
E、to the shortage of regulations to protect investors in others and a serious lack of information about investments.
答案A
解析 未划线的ranging from提示本句是from…to的表范围结构，本句中除C外，其他4个选项都用了此结构。一般来说，from…to…结构只并列2个内容，但此处却出现3个方面：thepotential，the shortage，a lack。因而其中有2个应用and连接组成大并列结构中的一个部分，而另一个则成为大并列结构中的另一部分。那么究竟谁跟谁由and连接成为一个并列的子项呢?这并非随意组合，正如在前面例题讲到的，意思相近的或密切相关的才能组合在一起。由本句句意，the shortage和a lack句意相近，适合并列成为一个from…to…子项。因此，排除D。A、B、E的根本差异在于对in others的位置考虑。在本句中，in others就是指in other countries，与前面的in somecountries对应。B中将in others放在a lack之前，与前面的in some countries放在名词词组末尾在形式上不对应；E的确将in others放在the shortage名词词组之后，但这样就会导致一种误解，即in others仅修饰the shortage，而不修饰后面的a lack，而句意要求in others不仅要修饰the shortage，还要修饰a lack。而A中的表达则把in others放在并列之末，表明investors之后省略了in others，表明了句意。
