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.

This question is already discussed, but want to get some thoughts aroung [spoiler]A & C.[/spoiler]

Isnt THEY in A referring to sales wrongly? Can announced be used without THAT?

I think C, A is out because "they" can refer to sales or stores

There is another problem with A
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.


the verb Close is modifying announced, so close must be near to "Announced"

Also "they" pronoun is problematic due to above reasons.

The beauty of GMAT Prep Questions is this: One can kick out an incorrect option for variety of reasons. (A) is just one example

Hope this Helps

(If the issue of 'they' are forgotten time being then don't you think the the choice should have been that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they would be closed.
