Q18:

In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

1. In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.


2. Of the Californians under the age of eighteen, today more than 43 percent of them are Hispanic, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.


3. Today, more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic, compared with about 35 percent a decade ago.


4. Today, compared to a decade ago, Californians who are Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, whereas it was about 35 percent.


5. Today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen in California account for more than 43 percent, unlike a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

这道题我使用排除法，其他项it得知戴都有问题，只有c看之还顺眼，哪位牛牛可以从理论上讲讲为什么c 对

But do u think that the choice (C) compares the Hispanic with the figures?? doesn't it cause the ambiguity?

我也是用排除法，指代一致的觀念，找出C的

有更好的解法嗎

a、b、e为什么错，stoneren说得很清楚。

d错，我觉得是因为：1、比较对象概念不对等，californians和a decade ago比较；而且这里用compare to是unidiomatic的，应该用compare with；句子后半部分的it没有指代对象。

顶一下

But do u think that the choice (C) compares the Hispanic with the figures?? doesn't it cause the ambiguity?

还是对C有疑问,主谓宾分别是什么呀?Hispanic和figure做比较可以嘛?ft

是容易有这种误解, 不过compare with可以这么用，参加longman里面一个例句就会更清楚了：）

a 20% reduction in burglary compared with last year

挺同意你的看法  

这题我只有C读的懂  其他的选项我念起来都不太知道什么意思感觉很不顺 还有我是觉得ABDE的it 都指代不怎么清楚  顺便问一下 it 可以指代 xx% of 复数名词吗?
