答案
C
解析
Idiom; Logical predication
The sentence presents two pieces of data, one from the 1975 census and one from the 2000 census. It does not attempt to explain a logical relationship beyond the numerical difference. The incorrect versions of the sentence attempt but fail to make a logical connection between the two data (while... , even though ... , and with .. .) and/or introduce unnecessary wordiness with the phrase there was or there were. The most efficient way to present the two data for reader comparison is in two parallel independent clauses joined by a semicolon. To avoid the confusion of misplaced or squinting modifiers, these clauses are best structured with subjects designating percentage of mothers with children, followed by participial phrases that indicate that these mothers worked or were employed outside the home.
A The phrase there was introduces unnecessary wordiness, and the singular verb was does not agree with the plural predicate nominative one-third of mothers with children. The placement of the modifier working outside the home immediately after children suggests that the children rather than the mothers were externally employed.
B There were introduces unnecessary wordiness; because of its placement, the relative clause who worked outside the home appears to describe children rather than mothers.
C Correct. The two pieces of data are presented in parallel independent clauses, joined by a semicolon, allowing the reader to note the numerical difference.
D The introductory phrase even though suggests a relationship between the two pieces of data that the sentence does not support; there were introduces unnecessary wordiness; who worked outside the home appears to describe young children.
E The introductory word with nonsensically suggests the simultaneity of the two pieces of data; the placement of the modifier working outside the home attaches it to young children rather than mothers.
The correct answer is C.
