(E) whereas many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as

正確答案是C, 我選E...可以請問E為什麼不對嗎? 謝謝各位大大!

實在是搞不太懂because and Whereas 的差別~有沒有好心人可以解釋一下~~thanks!

whereas一般不用于表示因果关系，只有在正式的法律文件里面才有这样的用法。

Whereas:

1. formal used to say that although something is true of one thing, it is not true of another
2. law used at the beginning of an official document to mean 'because of a particular fact'

不过这不是关键。这题的主要问题在于share ... with 和the same ... as上面，建议indivii查看一下以前的讨论。
