23. A Labor Department study states that the numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more

than a thirty-five percent increase in the past decade and accounted for more than sixty-two percent of the

total growth in the civilian work force.

(A) numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase

(B) numbers of women employed outside the home grew more than thirty-five percent

(C) numbers of women employed outside the home were raised by more than thirty-five percent

(D) number of women employed outside the home increased by more than thirty-five percent

(E) number of women employed outside the home was raised by more than a thirty-five percent increase



Because a count of women employed outside the home at any given time will be expressed by a single number,the use of the plural noun numbers in choices A, B, and C is illogical.



我觉得the numbers of women 表示的是女性的数量，正好和后面的35％对应

而the number of women是大量女性，是泛指，说大量女性外出工作上升到35％， 这个好像有点别扭啊？

请指教：）
