23.For the first time in the modern era, non-Hispanic Whites are officially a minority in

California, which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from

nearly there-quarters only a decade ago.

A. which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters only a decade ago

B. which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when it was nearly three-quarters

C. and that amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when they were nearly three-quarters

D. amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago

E. amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters

答案是D,但是我一直在纠结A额,有CDer说A错是因为which有指代Canifornia嫌疑,指代会混淆,但是有前辈说过【在前有核心词+介词、分词等修饰结构或者插入语的情况下,which跳跃修饰前面的核心词,不能修饰紧邻的名词。】我感觉which就是指minority啊,而且主句是主系表结构,主语non-Hispanic Whites和minority不是可以视作同等的么,A选项到底错在哪呢?

我觉得即使是跳跃指代也指代的是minority,而不是non-Hispanic Whites,不能说因为是主系表结构就说主语和宾语可以视为等同啊。
而E用了v-ing形式:     S v O,v-ing.若分词的逻辑主语是S,则分词短语作伴随状语;若分词的逻辑主语是前面整个句子(SvO),那么分词短语作结果状语。
在本题中,amounting to是修饰non-Hispanic Whites的,符合语意。
另外就是纠结于DE两个选项了,E what it was的表达很awkward,另外it指代不清。还有就是从语意上分析,因为比如说decrease...by表示下降了多少,decrease...to表示下降到多少,E中down from...by nearly three quarters表示非拉美裔白人从十年前的数量下降了3/4,成了现在不到1/2的数量,显然不符合逻辑。

谢谢你!那我可不可以认为A的错误就是1.which指代有错误嫌疑;2.minority不能做为account to 的主语?

我觉得a和d都对啊。。
这里不是核心词+介词么,那which就应该修饰核心词啊,而且prep语法笔记里说 主系表结构中主语和宾语所指是同一事物,也就可以指代non-Hispanic Whites了啊。。。
求解释T T

根据ron大神的观点,which指代前面语法上可以指代的第一个名词(主要是单复数一致),因此这里可以认为是指代california.

除非其他选项明显有错,否则不要选择所谓跳跃指代的(当然如果介词修饰中前后单复数有不同,可以分辨出来)

此外,不同意minortity可以作为amount的逻辑主语,应该是前面的whites

是人达到多少数量,amounts是指这个主语的数量,与minority逻辑不符

我觉得这句话不是楼主说的那种状况,在which前的那个部分不是插入语而是主句,这个时候which就只能指代California了
