标题: OG158

(A) With

(B) As

(C) Being

(D) Despite having

(E) Although accounting for

. With in choice A and Despite having in choice D confusingly suggest that United States citizens somehow possess, rather than constitute, 5 percent of the world's population.

注意‘拥有’所表达的含义与占。。。的百分比之间的区别；前者是固定的，而后者只是一个比例。

同时考虑到文中的转折含义：5%与后续的其他百分比对比，很明显，原文想表达转折无法通过with表现出来；
