Sales of 7States manufactured goods to noindustrialized countries rose to ear was
$167 billion in 1992, (which is 14 percent more than the previous year) and largely offsets weak demand from Europe and Japan.

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
E) an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure

答案选E, 从此题看，‘s结构也可用于非人的所有格，另外，为什么不能选择C? 或which 选项？因为前面有sales 和 167两个名词吗？

dreadpower

关于of和's并不能作为区分选项的点

    which 不能指代$167 billion

    C中14 percent higher than the previous year's figure说明的不明确

dydingding

thanks.

which 只能指代前面最近的名词吗？不能有丝毫跳跃？

dreadpower

不是，修饰是要根据逻辑意思修饰的

    A，B还有其他错误
