答案是(A)

我的問題是
1. increase 在這裡應該是名詞吧! 但是為什麼前面不用加冠詞 "the"呢?

2.這句 A. "The rate of increase in the number of Black elected officials" 和這句 B. "and the rate of increase for Black women elected to office "
意思不一樣嗎
A.黑人被選為官員的比例增加
B.黑人婦女被選為官員的比例增加
但是
A. "The rate of increase in the number of Black elected officials"
和
B. "and the rate of increase for Black women elected to office "
不一樣耶

兩句話的意思的確是不一樣啊,
句子是在說: 不但黑人官員增加了, 而且黑人婦女的官員更是增加了...
因此, 你所說的沒錯吧
