Plz explain

proportion of women work and not "works"
the sentence conveys a meaning that as in Eastern europe women in hungary work hence like is not to be used and shows incorrect comparison , also the preposition "in" should be used to show that women work in eastern europe.
rule out B,D,E.
Choosing between A and C is tricky.
C has ellipsis.
A sounds good to me.

If anyone has a good explaination, please post.

I would go for C

In Hungry --> Preposition phrase
so we require As in, ( ike is wrong )

Between A and C :

A is looking strange. Which should refer to the noun, just before it.

So C

OA Please.

"an overwhelming proportion of women" => plural subject
work => plural verb




In Hungary, as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in middle management and light industry.
A. as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in
=> "which" cannot refer to human

B. as with much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women works, many in
=>"with" -> incorrect; "many in " -> incomplete

C. as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of them in
=>"as in" correct; "many of them" correct
We need countable "many"

D. like much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women works, and many are
=>"like" not required

E. like much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many are in
=>"like" not required; run on sentence
