diversity with their news coverage or risk losing their readers’

the paper has put into place policies and procedures for hiring and
maintain a diverse workforce. The underlying reason for the change【M3】______

选项
答案 percents→percent
解析 单复数错误。表达“百分之几”时只需用基数词加上单数percent即可。这类用法值得留意。比如基数词hundred，thousand，million和billion等与其他数词一起表示确切数量时，同样必须用单数形式，如four thousand books。它们的复数形式常表示不确定数目，后面可接of词组，如 thousands upon thousands及millions of people。名词dozen和score也经 常与数词一起表达“十来个”或“几十个”，如two dozen of eggs；也可接of 词组，如a dozen of them或dozens of them。
