OA：C

看了网上的评析，感觉有点简单粗暴了，还是不太理解。compared with/to不是就近修饰吗，我感觉这几个选项的用法都有问题？C明显是和主语“more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen”我在想是不是more than放句首句子用全倒装？其它选项我也有点疑惑：
A前后对比不平行，是不是把it was改成they accounted这部分就对了？
B前后对比不平行，it was改成they were这部分就对了？；today more than 43 percent of them的of them多余；
D前后对比不平行， whereas it was about 35 percent改成whereas they accounted;而且语义上whereas后面指的就是十年前的数据，但是时间状语离得太远了，容易引起语义的歧义。
E前后对比不平行，前面是account for，后面是it was；unlike/like和主语比较，这里是想比较宾语/整个句子

期待大家的回复，谢谢大家！

逻辑语义上说，是不是和...年的数据比较，直接“compare 数据+年份”，而用“compared+年份，when.."when在这里是整个句子的状语，语义上容易产生歧义，求指点

Ron: C "compared with"/"compared to" can be used to modify the statistic in the preceding clause, even if that statistic doesn't come right before the comma.
