For the first time in the modern ear, 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.
A:
D amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago.
答案是D. 我的问题是原句中的only在D 中丢失了.
A 为什么不对? 是不是因为有指代California之嫌?
我觉得only在这里不是关键. A中的which指代了Califonia, 使整个句子意思错误.

A:
D amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago.
请高人讲讲 D 的用法。在这里D如果是现在分词,却不是表伴随方式和伴随结果,可是放在句末做定语修饰non-Hispanic Whites ,平常没见过。
A, B, C 一看就错,因为amount的主语是non-Hispanic Whites,所以amount只能是用复数,
E中,down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters, 是说人口数量减少了原来的3/4,不符合题义
he he, 我是一个个敲的, 可怜不可怜.
A, B, C 一看就错,因为amount的主语是non-Hispanic Whites,所以amount只能是用复数,
有理.从十年前的4/3降到……
amounting我觉得就是和are并列的一个动词,主语就是non-Hispanic Whites。
贴一下题目
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.
A. which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from
nearly three-quarters only a decade ago
B. which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a
decade ago, when it was nearly three-quarters
C. 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
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
我认为E中it 指代不明确。it前有多个单数名词。
还请诸位多发表意见。
i agree with u. A is awkward in refering to california.
I don't think we have to adhere to the original sentence word by word.
