What's the difference between (B) and (E)?
Ans:
(A)選項有一個fell已經有下跌的意思,多一個down意思重複
(C)(D)選項是為冗言At the time跟During相比
(E)選項為clumsy(笨拙)的表示方式,時間表達方式為句首或是句尾,E選項中可發現時間的表達方式為句子中間
我見解為(B)選項不知是否正確嚕^^,有錯請多多見諒...

我的想法是介詞片語by nearly fifty percent要放在所修飾的詞組之後比較好
所以認為B比E好

不知道這樣想對嗎？

(E) by nearly fifty percent 修飾 fell, 不是 in 1933 => 不選
down to => redundancy => (A) (C) 不選
(D) it nadir 應該是 its nadir => 不選
=> (B)
