菜鸟手册:C, the best choice, uses a clear, direct, and economical adjective clause to indicate the percentage of household incomes below the poverty line in the community in question. Choices A and E insert the pronoun them without a stated antecedent. In addition, the wording of both A and E confuses the percentage of community residents (the implied referent of them) with the percentage of households, not the same thing at all (逻辑意思表达的很细微之处). Choice B introduces the pronoun they without an antecedent.Furthermore, the use of have in B and E and of has in D illogically suggests that the community possesses 49% of all the household incomes below the poverty line.(体会歧义是怎么被这帮鬼子弄出来的)
