这道题我想不明白

Although many whites, noting the presence of some blacks in the middle class, think that the time for enforcing civil rights measures is past, Blacks generally are aware that the figures for average income and unemployment show as wide of a radical discrepancy as ever.

A

B that average income and unemployment figure show as wide

答案是B, 可我不明白, 这里的figure是单数?

这里的figure表示“数字”，相当于the number of 里的number当然只能是单数啦。对了，这里的average income本身就是数字概念，并不修饰figure, average income 与 unemployment figure 并列。－一家之言

贴一下原题

大全78/88

1.        Although many Whites, noting the presence of some Blacks in the middle class, think that the time for enforcing civil rights measures is past, Blacks generally are aware that the figures for average income and unemployment show as wide of a radical discrepancy as ever.

(A) that the figures for average income and unemployment show as wide of

(B) that average-income and unemployment figures show as wide

(C) that the average-income and unemployment figures are showing as wide of

(D) of average-income and unemployment figures that show as wide of（B）

(E) of figures for average income and unemployment showing as wide

看了一下旧五册，如delldell所说没有那个s，但个人觉得似乎应该有那个s的

还有想问一下，wide是修饰什么的，是discrepancy吗？觉得整个修饰关系被这么拆开了，还是挺不顺的

楼上所有的选项都是figuresssssssssssssssssssssssss呀

我查大全是这样的，每个选项都有s

而新东方五册上就B选项没有s

average income 与 unemployment figure 并列，所以是复数，谓语不用S
