(C) the e-book forms of most major U.S. publishers' titles are blocked from library access
(D) most major U.S. publishers block library access to the e-book forms of their titles

謎底:D
【剖析】Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the modification error of the original by placing the subject of the sentence ("most major U.S. publishers") directly after the modifying phrase ("Concerned that people will click to borrow an e-book from a library rather than click to buy it"). The original sentence illogically implies that "library access," rather than the "publisher," is "concerned."
