选项
A、the largest share for any country to contribute
B、the largest share that any country has contributed
C、which makes it the largest share for any country to contribute
D、having the largest share to be contributed by any country
E、having the largest share to have been contributed by any country
答案
B
解析
Logical predication; Rhetorical construction
This sentence claims that the 2000 Census showed that at the time Mexico’s contribution to the foreign-born population of United States residents exceeded that of any other country since 1890. It makes the comparison in an appositive that modifies more than a quarter of all foreign-born residents of the United States.
A The phrase for any country to contribute makes the sentence wordy and indirect.
B Correct. This form of the appositive is the most efficient way to express the comparison. Depending on when the sentence was written and what the writer intended to express, the verb form could be either had contributed or has contributed. The use of has contributed implies that, from the perspective of the sentence, the comparison between German-born U.S. residents and those from other countries still holds true.
C The antecedents of the relative pronoun which and the pronoun it are ambiguous. Along with the prepositional phrase, the pronouns contribute wordiness and indirection.
D This construction is awkward, wordy, and indirect, and the use of the present tense of the infinitive is inappropriate.
E This construction is awkward, wordy, and indirect.
The correct answer is B.
