Q18:

In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

1. In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.


2. Of the Californians under the age of eighteen, today more than 43 percent of them are Hispanic, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.


3. Today, more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic, compared with about 35 percent a decade ago.


4. Today, compared to a decade ago, Californians who are Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, whereas it was about 35 percent.


5. Today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen in California account for more than 43 percent, unlike a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

这道题我使用排除法，其他项it得知戴都有问题，只有c看之还顺眼，哪位牛牛可以从理论上讲讲为什么c 对

Penggary

C可以这么认为：more than 43%..., compared with about 35%...，主谓结构在前面more than部分，这样看起来比较很对等：more than vs about, 43% vs 35%。大家的意见呢？

1. In California today (today的位置不是很好，时间状语修饰整句，最好放在句首), Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago (Hispanics和a decade ago作比较，比较对象不匹配), when it (it的指代不明确) was about 35 percent.


2. Of the Californians under the age of eighteen, today more than 43 percent of them are Hispanic (主从成分混乱), compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.


3. Today, more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic, compared with about 35 percent a decade ago.


4. Today, compared to a decade ago, Californians who are Hispanics (表达不精确) under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, whereas it was about 35 percent.


5. Today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen in California (表达不精确) account for more than 43 percent, unlike (比较结构错) a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

But do u think that the choice (C) compares the Hispanic with the figures?? doesn't it cause the ambiguity?

我也是用排除法，指代一致的觀念，找出C的

有更好的解法嗎

a、b、e为什么错，stoneren说得很清楚。

d错，我觉得是因为：1、比较对象概念不对等，californians和a decade ago比较；而且这里用compare to是unidiomatic的，应该用compare with；句子后半部分的it没有指代对象。

顶一下

But do u think that the choice (C) compares the Hispanic with the figures?? doesn't it cause the ambiguity?

还是对C有疑问,主谓宾分别是什么呀?Hispanic和figure做比较可以嘛?ft

是容易有这种误解, 不过compare with可以这么用，参加longman里面一个例句就会更清楚了：）

挺同意你的看法  

这题我只有C读的懂  其他的选项我念起来都不太知道什么意思感觉很不顺 还有我是觉得ABDE的it 都指代不怎么清楚  顺便问一下 it 可以指代 xx% of 复数名词吗?

我觉得这道题的问题主要在it 的使用上，只有C选项没有错误。
