Census Survey

by Dean Jones » Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:28 am
Dear Friends,

I was having problems in answering the following question.

A March 2000 Census Bureau survey showed that Mexico accounted for more than a
quarter of all foreign-born residents of the United States, the largest share for any
country to contribute
since 1890, when about 30 percent of the country's foreign-born
population was from Germany.

A. the largest share for any country to contribute
B. the largest share that any country has contributed
C. which makes it the largest share for any country to contribute
D. having the largest share to be contributed by any country
E. having the largest share to have been contributed by any country


Please help.

OA after some discussions.

my choice was option B

Regards
Deano.

Controversial question. This has already been discussed a lot of times :). Check out the link. The OA is wrong. Option B is the right one.

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
