参考答案是C。
我的疑问是,C表达的意思和A是不一致的,改变了逻辑意思。
C:more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic,指得是18岁以下的Californian中43%是Hispanic。
A:Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent,指得是18岁以下的Hispanic占California人口的43%。
那么回来看这个题,看A的表达,的确是有问题。Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent 占谁的43%呢?(猜测一下,如果18岁一下的西班牙人就占了假如说是加利福尼亚人的43%,那么其他年龄段加起来就超过100%了吧)。
而C却将 under the age of eighteen 合理的限制在Californians这里,从语义上看起来更为合理一些。

这个题目很明显的比较的parallel
A hispanics compared with a decade ago
B Of the Californians under the age of eighteen, today more than 43 percent of them are Hispanic, 私下以为 43 percent 后面的of them 可以去掉。整句话有点倒装的感觉
