请教Prep－P1-98题。逻辑主语问题。

98.   (29799-!-item-!-188;#058&004009)

A decade after initiating the nation's most comprehensive and aggressive antismoking program, per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs annually per person to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as in the nation as a whole.

(A) per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs annually per person to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as

(B) annual per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs to about 60, more than twice as great as that

(C) California's annual per capita consumption of cigarettes declined from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as the drop

(D) California has seen per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs annually to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as that

(E) California has seen annual per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as that

请教一下此题的逻辑主语问题。正确答案D。California做为initiating的主语。

有个疑问，其他选项的consumption做主语更是不可能了。但是D里面，california是州，能不能做initiating的主语呢？应该是州的某个机构吧？不知道我的想法对不对。还是我太钻牛角尖了？

不知道有没有人和我有一样的疑问: 我觉得D里面的DECLINE的时态不对啊...其他的D选项都没有问题

另外, 回LS, 州作为INITIATE的主语没有问题啊

谢谢LS两位的解答. 倾向于decline是动词的说法...

想问遥遥G梦,为什么这里decline在See后面就没有时态问题呢?

thanks!

因为这相当于不定式，只是因为see 的特性，所以没有 to 的出现。

噢, 谢谢遥遥G梦,

也就是说相当于 see sb (to) do sth, 这个to省略了

记住了, 以前一直没有注意这个...

see sb./sth. do sth省略to
