a minority已经告诉你是一（a minority）还怎么amount啊？应该是Whites amount，你看which能指代到Whites吗？

WHICH会歧义指代California

which 不能修饰 whites. 首先是单复数问题。其次,amounting 表达伴随的意思，更简洁。

Q23:

For the first time in the modern era, non-Hispanic Whites are officially a minority in California, which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly there-quarters only a decade ago.

which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters only a decade ago
which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when it was nearly three-quarters
and that amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when they were nearly three-quarters
amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago
amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters

E为什么不对？意思上应该是降了3/4？
