Writing Question
Hi,
I have a question in the Writing sample as below.
"Worryingly, the table clearly shows that smoking remained more prevalent among certain socio-economic groups than others. 30 years ago, about a third of professional men smoked compared with under two-thirds of unskilled manual workers. Regarding the former, the proportion of smokers approximately more than halved over the period. In comparison, the proportion of unskilled manual workers who smoked fell by less than a third."
Could I rephrase the sentence like "30 years ago, about a third of professional men (who) smoked compared with under two-thirds of unskilled manual workers."?
Thank you for replying.
