问题 The average weekly wage nearly doubled in the 1970’s, rising from $114 to $320 yet the average worker ended the decade with a decrease in what their pay may buy.
选项 A、with a decrease in what their pay may buy
B、with what was a decrease in what they were able to buy
C、having decreased that which they could buy
D、decreasing in purchasing power
E、with a decrease in purchasing power
答案 E
解析 C中：(1)that which=what，因而不够简洁；(2)在分词一章曾多次提到过，现在分词的完成体不能作限定修饰词，本选项违反了此原则；D中：decreasing短语修饰decade，逻辑不通；B中：what从句中再套what从句，结构笨拙且句意难懂。由于what their pay may buy在意思上就等于purchasing power，因而E比A简洁，同时end with符合end的习惯用法，with之后的部分表达end的结果。
