问题 After gradual declension down to about 39 hours to 1970, the workweek in the United States has steadily increased in the point that the average worker now puts in an estimated 164 extra hours of paid labor a year.

选项 A、After gradual declension down
B、Following a gradual declension down
C、After gradual declining down
D、After gradually declining
E、Following gradually declining

答案D

解析 A、B中有两个共同错误:(1)declension与down词性不同,但都有下降之意,属于同义重复。(2)由于declension之前没有一个与workweek相关的限定词,使得after时间状语与主句的逻辑关系很松散,似乎前后无关。C的错误同A、B的第一个错误。E中:following之后紧跟动名词,不符合follow的用法。D简洁明了,用现在分词表明了declining修饰the workweek,状语与主句关系紧密。
