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

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? |
