B is correct.

E is wrong because the words in red can not be attached to the main sentence correctly.

E.  chores, that figure growing to nearly six hours a week in 1997

B is correct because there are two independent sentences. Hence, the ppt is acceptable.

vote for B
by前面有；是另外一句话了，而by 1997说明是某件事情在以前已经结束

这个解释很清楚地解释了为什么B对而E错.

分号前后是两句话，D选项显然后面一句话不完整的，所以不能选。

以下是引用xizzhu在2006-12-20 11:51:00的发言：

B is the best.  it's the year of 2006.   Thus, by 1997 + 过去完成时也没错.  前半句的一般过去时是为了说一过去的事实.

E is wrong due to its structure, which is sentence,+ N1.  (N1= that figure)  But "that figure" 不是 chores 的宾同.   Moreover,  the meaning of "in 1997" is completely different from that of "by 1997".

I thought this question is a real one in 1996. Just kidding

支持B,BY THE 1997,意思是这个事一直到1997年,它从1981年到1997年,这个数据是从过去一直保持增长到1997的,
大家要清楚过去完成时,过去完成时表示到过去某时刻为止,已经完成了的事.
表示过去某一时刻的短语,多由介词BY引出,说明时间的截止.

而且个人觉得E有结构问题,THAT FIGURE GROWING TO ..感觉少了一个谓语助词.

E.改变句子的重心了.句子本来要表达增长快,对比强烈...可E成了强调1981年的情况了
