Sales of United States manufactured goods to nonindustrialized countries rose to $167 billion in 1992, which is 14 percent more than the previous year and largely offsets weak demand from Europe and Japan.

(A) which is 14 percent more than the previous year

(B) which is 14 percent higher than it was the previous year

(C) 14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure

(D) an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was（E）

(E) an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure

B，中的IT 指什么？D 为什么不对？C 呢？？？

唉，谢谢大家

(B) which is 14 percent higher than it was the previous year

which就近修饰$167 billion，后面的it就变成指代$167 billion，意思不对

(D)an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was

amount是数量，应该用high，且than后面漏了amount的代词

（C）14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure

同位语结构，修饰$167 billion

a。没有代词

b有代词也不正确，因为代词指代了$167 billion，意思不对

 E正确

an amount和previous year’s figure比较

平行

所有选项都是说就近修饰 167 millions？ 为什么不可能是 就近修饰 1992呢？我开始就是这么想的

难道是因为which逻辑上讲不能修饰1992（应该用when之类的），所以跳过就近修饰的第一原则，去找就近的合适的修饰成分了吗？

看白勇语法，觉得越看越不清楚了，郁闷了！！
