关于比较句的一个疑惑例题

寂寞的自由

18. ！！Sales of United States manufactured goods to nonindustrialized countries rose to $167 billion in 1992, which is 14 percent more than the previous year and largely offsets weak demand from Europe and Japan.C--àE
(A) which is 14 percent more than the previous year
(B) which is 14 percent higher than it was the previous year
(C) 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure
(D) an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was
(E) an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure

这个正确答案是E，但是我不明白的是，B和C，D有什么不对呢？谢谢大家

qww

B中的which 从句前面没有可修饰的名词。排除。
c,14 percent 逻辑关系不清，也不知修饰誰，必须加上an amount。
D 比较的对象不一致。
E  an amount与figure的比较。合理。

Snazzy

1, $167 billion =money = an amount, not percentage ---> abc are eliminated
2, D has no comparison
