标题: A question from GMAT Prep

I could have sworn that I've seen it here before but just couldn't find it for the life of me, =( I'd be grateful if someone could send me a link to that discussion.

A decade after initiating the nation's most comprehensive and agressive antismoking program, per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs annually per person to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as in the nation as a whole.

B) annual per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs to about 60, more than twice as great as that

C) California's annual per capita consumption of cigarettes declined from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as the drop

D) California has seen per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs annually to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as that

E) California has seen annual per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs per person to about 60, moer than twice as great as that

i prefer D.

1. per capita = per person, so ACE are out.

2. see "initiating"? the subject of main clause cannot be consumption.

3. D has a bonus point since it uses "a drop" following the comma, a clear reference to the fact of decline.
