B中的a ratio that compares to 42 times看起来是同位语从句补充解释419times的情况,ratio 不是做compares 的主语,而是同位语从句修饰词.
大家讨论?
the subject of "Compared to" could be "an average of 419 times". Is there a grammatical rule that requires the subject of "compared to" be the closest noun? in this case "workers"?
who can help with the explanation about the answer in B,
.., a ratio that compares to 42 times in 1980. That is the relative clause who modifies the ration. so whats the struction of a ration (the only noun in the end of the sentence).
