GWD26-Q24

According to United States census data, while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.
        

 

A.     while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.

B.      there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home in 1975; in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home

C.     in 1975 about one-third of mothers with young children worked outside the home; in 2000, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home

D.     even though in 1975 there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000

E.      with about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000

答案为C, 我也选对了。

在这问的问题是用there were about one-third of mothers with young children, 还是there was about one-third of mothers with young children. 应该是was吗？

应该是were，mothers决定了单复数

应该是were，mothers决定了单复数

谢谢。

那用法就是跟the majority of .... and the percentage of....一样了。

我觉得选d，原句中的while包含了转折关系啊，从句意中也看得出来，且除了a、b只有d有转折关系。；在e文中不是解释说明得关系吗?用在这里显然不对啊
