increasingly diverse United States economy.
(A) Mideast immigrants' rates of entrepreneurship exceed
(B) Mideast immigrants are exhibiting rates of entrepreneurship exceeding
(C) Immigrants from the Mideast exhibit rates of entrepreneurship exceeding those of
(D) The rates of entrepreneurship in immigrants from the Mideast exceed
(E) The rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship exceeds those of
选问问这题的E选项后面的those of 指代的是不是 the rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship， 如果是的话那就错的更明显了
因为在看曼哈顿论坛上Ron说 C选项的those of 指代的是 the rates of entrepreneurship，所以有点小疑问

因为母语不是英语，很难第一时间判断出those指代谁。
所以我觉得e选项不能一开始就去考虑those of 是不是指代 the rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship
指代不明应该放在最后来考虑，这样才能最合理的去考虑指代对象的问题。
如果一开始就考虑指代的话，c根据those核心词指代的用法，就会被排除掉。
而当其他split点都排除后，才开始考虑those是核心词指代，还是同类指代。
看e的时候，还是得把the rates和 the rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship 两种情况都考虑进去，看哪个符合。
两个都不符合，所以e才错了。而c也同样被如此判定为正确。
