OG中的原题:其中percent 做主语 165. At Shiprock, New Mexico, a perennially powerful girls’ high school basketball team has become a path to college for some and a source of pride for a community where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are below the poverty level. (A) where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are (B) where they have 49 percent of the household incomes (C) where 49 percent of the household incomes are (D) which has 49 percent of the household incomes(C) (E) in which 49 percent of them have household incomes C, the best choice, uses a clear, direct, and economical adjective clause to indicate the percentage of household incomes below the poverty line in the community in question. Choices A and E insert the pronoun them without a stated antecedent. In addition, the wording of both A and E confuses the percentage of community residents (the implied referent of them) with the percentage of households, not the same thing at all. Choice B introduces the pronoun they without an antecedent. Furthermore, the use of have in B and E and of has in D illogically suggests that the community possesses 49% of all the household incomes below the poverty line. |
