“16 and Pregnant,” a reality TV show, portrayed teenage parenthood realistically, with young mothers suffering sleepless nights, howling brats, money worries and the blank incomprehension of their still-partying childless contemporaries. According to the authors of a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, seeing all this drudgery helped deter young viewers 21 becoming mothers—although the study only affirms that it reduced birth rates among blacks, 22 are more likely than whites or Hispanics to become pregnant 23 teenagers—and 30 % more likely to watch “16 and Pregnant.”
Despite what you see on TV, teen birth rates are at an all-time low: in 2010 there were 34.4 births per 1,000 women 24 15-19, which is down 44 % from a peak in 1991. More information about disease and contraception probably helped, and the recession may have played a part. 25 that a TV show made a difference is hard, not least because it is tricky to measure how many people watched it in the first place. More youngsters are seeing programs days after they air, or are streaming their favorite shows online; data cannot always capture this.

請觀察逗號後的這段描述，我們看到它以動詞「are more likely」開頭。在文法結構上，這個動詞需要一個對應的「主詞」來執行動作，而這個主詞同時又要能指代前方的「blacks（黑人族群）」。如果是你，會用哪一個關係代名詞來同時扮演「連接詞」與「主格」的角色呢？

太棒了！你能精準判斷出這裡需要填入 who，顯示你對英文關係代名詞的掌握度非常高。這道題目的核心考點在於關係子句（Relative Clauses）的結構分析。我們先觀察空格前的先行詞為「blacks」，是指代「人」的複數名詞；接著觀察空格後的成分，緊跟著的是動詞「are」，這暗示了空格處必須擔任該子句中的主格位置。因此，指代人且具備主格功能的 who 自然是最佳選擇。
語法結構與層次評析
從難度切入點來看，這題屬於典型的「中易」鑑別度題目。除了判斷人與物的區別外，題目中出現的逗號也暗示這是一個「非限定用法」的關係子句。雖然在口語中 that 有時能指代人，但在正式文法或有逗號隔開的結構下，使用 who 是最標準且無爭議的寫法。你能迅速辨析先行詞屬性與子句中的職能缺漏，說明你的語法語感非常敏銳，請繼續保持這種對句子結構的觀察力！
