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
老题对答案没问题了想请教正确答案D
amounting伴随状语修饰主句 down是adj 也修饰主句
manhattan里面ron的解释
it's neither; "down" is an adjective, so it's ... um ... an adjective modifier.
i don't actually know whether it's really called that (dirty secret: i hardly know any grammatical names at all, unless i google them before posting), but it works in the same way as other modifiers that start with adjectives. these are somewhat flexible and can modify either the subject of the sentence or a noun that's closer, depending on context.
可是两个修饰可以并列放在句尾么？感觉好怪= =
还是我对down的理解有错？
谁能帮忙解释一下，多谢多谢！

两个状语连用没有问题，其作用如同两个副词连用。本题的重要考点在于对ving作状语的认知，以及对时间状语的表达。
