A. when it was about 35 percent.是修饰a decade ago的。 错误点1:Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent 这个分句不够完整。more than 43 percent of what? Percent 后面要跟 of 的,这个分句里面没有 of。 错误点2:比较结构中a decade ago是与Hispanics under the age of eighteen进行比较 错误点3:35 percent变成了从句的从句成分,根据逻辑意思重点应该是more than 43 percent与35 percent的对比。 错误点4:it无所指代 错误点5:today应该放在in California前面(时间副词放在外面一点) B. 比较点正确today与a decade ago的对比 错误点1:35 percent变成了从句的从句成分,根据逻辑意思重点应该是more than 43 percent与35 percent的对比。 错误点2:it无所指代 错误点3:逻辑上来看不应该是比较年代,而是应该比较某个年代的百分比。
C. 正确。more than 43 percent与about 35 percent的比较。 D. 错误点1: Compared to夹心修饰。既可以与today比较也可以与Californians比较。 错误点2:whereas it was about 35 percent.莫名其妙多出一个数据,断裂了它与a decade ago的关系。 错误点3:it指代不明 E. 错误点1:it指代不明 错误点2:unlike通常用于句首,放在中间引起修饰歧义。 错误点3:unlike的比较对象错误
