trend这里为啥不能作为独立主格？
which不能指代整句话排除CE。但其余几个区别没法分别。。。（我把trend作为独立主格思考没法区别A和D）；还有the majority后面的谓动应该是单数还是复数？

expected，expectation之类，指的是将来，现在尚未发生的事情，所以用will

答案是B?个人觉得A后的a trend 指代前面分句不好，感觉A重心落在women上，the majority of students + 谓语复数

同问为什么在这里 a trend placing 不能做独立主格呢？为什么解释不了~~~~~

也为用独立主格的话有已经进行的含义的

这里表示的是预期将来的一个趋势
