31 Statistics是不可数名词，所以应该为indicates

28 concern 是及物动词，此处有with, 所以应该采用其被动语态are concerned

19 jewel 是可数名词单数，不能单独存在。

jewel的英文解释: a precious stone; a gem；A small natural or artificial gem used as a bearing in a watch.etc

因此它是可数名词单数

textile的英文解释: a cloth, especially one manufactured by weaving or knitting; a fabric;所以这也是个可数名词单数

而furniture and decoration 很明显是不可数名词。

嗯，多亏你的问题，我用金山词霸查的这两个单词, 搞懂了这道题。我刚开始看这道题时想选择b来着的。
