1. the main point of A and B is different.
A: have couples
B: couples work outside the home.

2.if you chose A, the sentence would be expressed as which were differing.....
However, it expresses an ongoing condition.

谢谢,有点明白。你对第二个问题的解释是不是指用WHICH 从句使得句子重心发生改变?

不是。是让两个词同时用了一个系动词WERE,导致后者呈一中进行时态,这是不符合句义的。
