答案B
咦....大家都不覺得這題怪怪的嗎?
有沒有發現that子句中動詞在哪??如果說是earn的話為什麼會是複數型態的動詞呢??主詞CEO's（CEO的所有格）應該是單數的呀.....
這題我們今天下午讀書會一起討論的時候發現....是不是應該要改成以下這樣才能解釋呢：
A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEOs now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.
變成複數的CEOs才能對應複數的blue-collar workers勒?
還是大家有其他的想法??請討論.....
