E. with about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000

A: there was about one-third of mothers
When a quantity word such as one-third refers to a countable noun such as mothers, a plural verb is required.
Here, was (singular) does not agree with one-third of mothers (plural).
Eliminate A.

B and D: young children who worked
Here, who worked seems to refer to young children, implying that YOUNG CHILDREN worked.
The intended meaning is that ONE-THIRD OF MOTHERS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN worked.
Eliminate B and D.

E: with about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000
Here, the implication is that mothers IN 2000 were employed WITH mothers working IN 1975 -- a nonsensical meaning.
Eliminate E.

The correct answer is C.

Sir is their any grammatical word for such terminology where verb comes before the subject -

there was about one-third of mothers

Verb: was
Subject: One-third of Mothers

This is the official explanation - https://screencast.com/t/KzSjAXgvrnR

Can you throw more light on the Usage of with here and also can you please discuss the usage of even though etc because the Official explanation also says that the incorrect version of the sentence attempts but fails to establish the logical connection between the two data (While....even though...and with...)

I am not Mitch but I could help.

Ron calls it'Reverse Constructions'

In the parking lot was a car.
In the parking lot were two cars.

Here is GPSC example
Among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are/is believed to be the rate that trees
grow?

-> The rate that trees grows is among the surest indications of sunspot cycles.

If other guys are reading this thread, here is another example of Quantity Indicators ( Credits for the concept go to Mitch )

In Hungary , as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work/works?
Quantity Indicator- Proportion ( Overwhelming-Adjective)
Noun- Women, which is plural
Thus we have 'overwhelming proportion of women work'

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Al

You don't need worry about finding such terminology.
"In fact, verb tense is one hundred percent meaning and zero percent grammar.
From the standpoint of grammar, all verbs are equivalent. "

Usage of "while":If "while" comes before a complete sentence, then, ideally, it should imply BOTH simultaneity AND contrast.

Usage of "even though":Even though - is stronger, more emphatic than although."Even though" and "although" are, for all practical purposes, identical.you should use ALTHOUGH/EVEN THOUGH to set off a CONTRASTING statement.

Usage of with:at the above with used to explain the sentence after COMMA;Failed,because the meaning is nonsensical
