菜鸟求助，对长难句结构搞不清

Roy Wilkins was among the last of a generation of civil rights activists who led the nation through decades of change so profound that many young Americans cannot imagine, much less remember，what segregation was like.这句话怎么翻译呀？划线部分是“so……remember”，它的主语是谁？

好吧我发现原题里面A选项没有that可是我做的打印版A选项有that
不过还是希望有牛人解释一下much less和let alone有什么区别嘛，他们都有“更不用说”的意思

花公子

A和B，much less 和 let alone 都有“更不用说”的意思，为什么是选B？

嗯，LS说的很有道理
今天刚刚开始学SC，还有很长的路要走呢~

so profound that many young Americans cannot imagine, much less remember，what segregation was like. 这里都是修饰前面的change，不用过多关注，前面才是主干。
原句可以改为Roy Wilkins was among the last of a generation of civil rights activists who led the nation
through decades of profound change.
作者为了强调了profound，将其单独提出来用so……that结构来修饰。然后在so……that结构中又加入了一个插入语much less remember。


翻译：
RW是带领国家走过几十年变迁的一代民权积极分子中的最后一位。这些变迁是如此的深远，超乎年轻美国人对隔离的想像，更不用说记住了。


或者是：
RW是一代民权积极分子中的最后一位。这些民权分子带领国家走过了几十年的变迁。而这些变迁是如此的深远，超乎年轻美国人对隔离的想像，更不用说记住了。


个人看法，open to discuss
