问题 Sales of United States manufactured goods to nonindustrialized countries rose to $167 billion in 1992, which is 14 percent more than the previous year and largely offsets weak demand from Europe and Japan.
选项 A、which is 14 percent more than the previous year
B、which is 14 percent higher than it was the previous year
C、14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure
D、an amount that is 14 percent more than the pervious year was
E、an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure
答案E
解析 A、B中which所指代的先行词是不明确的，B中：it所指的$167 billion代入句子逻辑不通；C中：逗号之后比较短语的修饰对象不明确；D中：比较前后的比较对象不具可比性；E中：用an amount代替了$167 billion；句中比较对象具有可比性，因而为正确答案；E的表达有两个好处：(1)避免了A、B中which的指代不清(在真正先行词$167 billion和which从句之间还有一状语in 1992)；(2)避免了直接用数额作为比较对象，因为在1991的数额未出现的情况下，这样很容易导致比较物之间不具可比性(如：A、B、C)，而用抽象名词amount替代就不存在此问题。
