答案选择C。
这题的疑问如下：
1.请教compare to和compare with的用法区别
它俩没有区别
2.第一题是否with后面不能加a decade ago，比较对象不同？应该改成什么是正确的呢？
是的，比较对象不同，应该改为C选项那样的~~compared with about 35 percent a decade ago
3.D有什么错误。compared to a decade ago,离所修饰的whereas it was about 35 percent过于远了~~还有感觉it也有问题
4.E有什么错误。unlike用在句中不太好，一般都放在句首，比较用。it指代不清
个人认为DE错在句尾~~ 35 percent.没有指代，35 percent of what ？
