23. A Labor Department study states that the numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase in the past decade and accounted for more than sixty-two percent of the total growth in the civilian work force.
(A)    numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase
(B)    numbers of women employed outside the home grew more than thirty-five percent

(D)    number of women employed outside the home increased by more than thirty-five percent

想问一下，B错是不是没有grow这种用法

Jennifer789

不是错在 the numbers of 么?   改为the number of

zhjie

那个也是错的～就是问一下grow有没有这种用法～

grow 后面貌似是应该接副词by,然后再跟一个数字或百分比
如grow by 30%, grow by ...等。不知道对不对。

increase/decrease/grow +数字；中间可以加by，也可以不加(OG12有不加by的例子)。

increase by 55% percent---right

incrase 55%  perchent---right



但是说增加了几倍时，必须加by:

inrease two times---歧义，增加了两次还是两倍？

inrease by two times---增加了两倍
