E.98 percent of men and 75 percent of women who were born in the country, by the time they reached adulthood had been attacked by the birds

  答案是C  可是我觉得先出现they，后面才出现主语很奇怪啊。

这种用法很常见的呀~~
比如：
With a book in her hand, Mrs. Smith came into the classroom.随便写的
啊，估计是初中的例句了~只要你前面那个句子里出现的单词确实是指代后面
那个句子的主语就可以~
这里面的they就是指代98 percent of men and 75 percent of women，所以
米有问题哈~
