A,E的话,主句中加粗部分是主干。但你拎出来一看就发现,占什么的43%??句子本身意思就出现了问题。而且最后一个it也没有指代。
D. Today, compared to a decade ago, Californians who are Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, whereas it was about 35 percent.
D如果把主干标出来以后,就很明显看出来没有任何意义了。。而且,尽管比较的对象是today和a dacade ago。但是这种时间状语的比较,一般不能单纯比较两个时间点。(因为毕竟说话的意味是要比较两个时间点上不同的事或状态,单纯的比较两个时间点没有任何意思哈)
B. Of the Californians under the age of eighteen, today more than 43 percent of them are Hispanic, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.
C. Today, more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic, compared with about 35 percent a decade ago.
所以B,C从大面上看是对的。但是B较C言,一个是啰嗦,一个是it无指代对象。最后一个问题是,它把Californians under the age of eighteen提了出来,就像在说这群人固定不变,现在43%的他们是Hispanic, 10年前【还是这群人】,35%是Hispanic...
