－　a decade ago 是时间状语，不可以直接修饰名词 three-quarters.

－　C中没有明确的时间状语需将一般过去式改成现在完成时；between 1876 and 1904的修饰对象改变了。名词 + of 结构中可以插入状语修饰成分。－偶记得大全里有类似的题目的。

为何不选E却选D？

参考了一下其它网友的意见，这题应该选D。
1.　E中it指代不清，前面有好几个单数名词。

2.　还有刚刚想到的what it was应该可以省略，似乎跟状语从句的省略方式一样，为简洁。－－这点请NN们确认。

3.　原来说D错的时候是应该a decade ago的问题，偶现在想应该看成是时间状语放在句末的用法。

amounting to 后面是伴随状语嘛?

E中的down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters表示减少了原来的四分之三，改变原意。

作者: skyalan 时间: 2004-12-13 22:50

我当时选E的原因是E的表述很完整down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters “down from...by....” ;而 D down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago “down from +数量” 变成了从什么数量开始下降。。。似乎不对诶

请指正

作者: LES 时间: 2004-12-14 14:27

msfox讲得有道理，E改变了句意。

从原句的表述来看，句子的意思是non-Hispanic Whites人口的数量从原来占加州人口总数的四分之三降到现在的不到二分之一。

down from...：从......开始降;

down from...by...：从......开始降多少。

所以E选项的意思是从原来的数量降了四分之三。

嗯

明白了les好强的说

作者: hougang 时间: 2004-12-21 21:34

here, 'amounting to' is employed to modity the entire, preceding sentence, while 'which' should not be used in this way.

D. amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago

E. amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters

我<<还是觉得你(E)最好>> first, D 会不会有歧义啊, from nearly three-quarters a decade ago 会不会被认为是 10 年前就 down 了 3 quarters 了? Secondly, D 似乎没有说从哪个基准降了 3- quarters, 好象令人难一接受... 而E 解决了这些问题.

仅供参考, 请指正.

支持E！！！D意思不对，别的不说！！

作者: zhoujian 时间: 2005-12-18 21:12

E是错的，答案是D

E有２个问题

１. it指代不清

２. by改变了意思
