支持A

用google搜到的近似这句话的原文，出自一则新闻报道：For the first time in the modern era, non- Hispanic
whites are officially a minority in California, amounting to a little
less than half the population of the most populous state, compared with
nearly three-quarters only a decade ago, according to census figures
released today.

我想A错在amounts,应为amount.似乎逻辑which的先行词应该是non- Hispanic
whites。像which这样总容易犯指代不清毛病的，最好就用分词作定语吧

以下是引用anyname在2005-4-28 14:03:00的发言：

In A, "which" 修饰混淆；另外，nearly three-quarters only a decade ago中的only会不会混淆成修饰three-quarters呢?这种夹心修饰，是不是去掉也好？

很想知道

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

中的down.......是什么成份，amounting.....是伴随,好像这个down也是个伴随吗，怎么连个伴随，好不惯阿

请指教

同问，请指教！！！谢谢！！！

我完全因为only坚定地排除了D而选了A。而且在which/amounting的问题上，我仔细研究了下，认为A里的which跳跃修饰了a minority.

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.

我认为，如果没有这个the state的出现，那么which就可能修饰a minority又可能修饰California。但是有了这个the state，可以确定which是跳跃修饰a minority。

我们试将which替换为California：


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

“California amounts to a little less than half the population of the state”明显不通。所以which在这里跳跃修饰a minority是绝对成立的。

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
但看了前人的讨论，觉得only确实可以既修饰three-quaters，又可以修饰a decade ago。 但也没必要删除吧。。。。。。。。。

最近在prep看到一道题，类似于这个的结果，说in California是修饰核心词的，所以which可以跳跃修饰a minority

个人观点：

我觉得down from nearly three-quaters a decade ago, 也是伴随修饰主句中的are，逻辑主语是non-Hispanic Whites. 在连接非完整主谓（即主语）时，and不是必须的。

例如：GWD3-Q39、Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.加粗部分都是修饰Minivans，但是并没有连词and。

所以and不是检验非完整主谓结构并列的绝对标准。

open to discuss.
