1.        A Labor Department study states that the numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase in the past decade and accounted for more than sixty-two percent of the total growth in the civilian work force.

(A) numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase

(B) numbers of women employed outside the home grew more than thirty-five percent

(C) numbers of women employed outside the home were raised by more than thirty-five percent

(D) number of women employed outside the home increased by more than thirty-five percent（D）

(E) number of women employed outside the home was raised by more than a thirty-five percent increase

答案D没问题. 问题是in the past decade, 动词是否要求要用完成时?

我认为这里用一般过去时好 除了stoneren 说的平行外

一般过去时与完成时的区别在于 完成时发生于过去 强调的是对现在的影响或动作持续到现在

而这句 根据句意 只是说明in the past decade 发生过的事情 并不强调影响或持续 所以用一般现在时好

欢迎指正

多谢两位指点!
