1、For the first time in the modern era, non-Hispanic Whites are officially a minority in California, which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters only a decade ago.

A.which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters only a decade ago

B.which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when it was nearly three-quarters（it不能指代the population吗？，which不能简答的跨越修饰minority吗？）

C.and that amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when they were nearly three-quarters

D.amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago(D)

E.amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters

我想知道B项错在哪里。我的理解是这样的：which可以跨越简单的介词短语和不定式短语指代先行词 a minority,但是minority是集合名词，前面加了一个定冠词A，那么用amounts 没有错误；并且先行词是人的情况下不应该用which指代，应该用Who。B项中后面的 it 是指代population吧？还是在指代 a minority呢？a minority的谓语是用做单数还是负数呢？关于which指代的问题，请看下面的一个题。请指教！

本题中which跨越了 to Susan Huntington指代了letters，但是上一题中的B项有什么问题呢？

第1题  我觉得如果到which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state，其实用which是可以的，但是主要后面还有down from a decade ago, when it was nearly three-quarters。一方面，it有歧义的，如果是形容the population就改变了原句的意思。另一方面用了which，修饰的重点就变成a minority了，但是non-Hispanic Whites 是刚 officially 成为 a minority in California，选A或B好像就变成，这个minority在十年前是总人口的3/4，而那时候non-Hispanic Whites 还没有成为一个 minority.
