(B) has not been significant in reducing the gap that exists
(C) has not made a significant reduction in the gap that exists
(D) have not significantly reduced the gap that exists
(E) have not been significant in a reduction of the gaps existing
这个题目的答案没有太大的问题，但是对于红色字体的部分，有点疑问，到底是指代efforts to ....还是指代其他的呢？如果是efforts to ...怎么能是a major goal？单复数不是不一致吗？请大家指教！多谢！

a major goal of education reformers and many states in the 1970's？
我猜的

根据楼上的猜测，
同问一下，开始把a major goal……作为effects的同位语，可是efforts作为复数名次做句子主语，a goal又是单数名次。那到底这个goal是谁的同位语呢？

sorry,楼主猜的完全正确。

从句意看应该是指代equalize the funds available to school districts。

一直不理解，开始把a major goal……作为effects的同位语，可是efforts作为复数名次做句子主语，a goal又是单数名次。那到底这个goal是谁的同位语呢？

同问，这个 A major goal是指代了哪一个呢？？

主语与同位语单复数不必相同啊。我以为a goal就是 efforts的同位语。过去见过一句话，

主语是一串珠子，同位语用了珠子的复数（大体意思是这样），所以主语与同位语单复数不一定

一样，意思说得过去就行了。还有这个题是不是选D啊~~
