GWD-10-Q23

For the first time in the modern era, non-Hispanic Whites are officially a minority in California, which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly there-quarters only a decade ago.

1. which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters only a decade ago

2. which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when it was nearly three-quarters

3. 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

4. amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago

5. amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters

B、C两个答案都是错的，介词短语down from a decade ago不能处于两重句之间，也不能处于完整的句子和重句之间，ambiguous。

B答案的it确实有指代不明确的问题，而且读起来显得非常拗口，呵呵，awkward

C答案最重要的错误，就是and that amounts to a little less than half the population of the state导致and前的那个句子没有谓语了，比介词短语down from a decade ago的ambiguous错得更严重。

好像不是的,谓语还是有的,就是不能平行而已

C的they也不对,逻辑不对

the emphasis on the solution to this problem is "which amounts" or " amounting"...the given two expressions do have difference.

"Which" refers umbiguously,while amounting is pretty consice and clear.

mymengming说得对哈，谢谢指正！blame自己一个~~

答案我也赞成D，分词的逻辑主语和句子主语统一，准确而简洁，是最好的答案
