GWD-10-Q23

For the first time in the modern era, non-Hispanic Whites are officially a minority in California, which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly there-quarters only a decade ago.

A.      which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters only a decade ago

B.       which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when it was nearly three-quarters

C.      and that amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when they were nearly three-quarters

D.      amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago

E.       amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters

 

答案是D,我选A,我的理解是which amounts to修饰minority, D中的amounting修饰什么呢？是修饰前面整句话么？

请大家指教！~谢谢！~

自己顶！~请牛牛们指教啊~~

顶起来，我也选了A。
觉得which可以跳跃修饰minority啊，而且D中省略了only,这样可以吗？
而且accounting去在这里是现在分词做状语用，那么它到底是表示动作伴随还是结果伴随？我觉得两种情况都说不通的。
望牛牛指教

我觉得选D
D中accounting 的逻辑主语是non-Hispanic Whites

A中which 紧跟在California之后，其修饰容易造成歧义
