Because of the extent to which a college degree is accepted by employers as proof of competence in a given field, college graduates are not only more likely to receive more job offers, they can also commmand higher salaries thanapplicants who lack college diplomas.
这里的 extent to which 的作用是什么？ 意思是什么 以及 extent to which 的用法是啥？？？？？？？？？？？

Answer 1

Because of the extent to which a college degree is accepted by employers as proof of competence in a given field,

to ... extent 在多大程度上；to some extent: 在某种程度上（固定搭配）
because of the extent (to which) ... 是which 引导的定语从句，修饰extent.
原句是 to ... extent a college degree is accepted by employers as proof of competence in a given field.
句子直译：由于employers看重大学文凭的程度--> 意译：由于employers通常把大学文凭看做能力的证明

Answer 2

because of是个短语介词 也就是 短语起一个介词作用 后面the extent是介词宾语.
后面是to which 引导的定语从句，关系代词which作定语从句中介词to的宾语。Because of the extent to which a college degree is accepted by employers as proof of competence in a given field , 整个是介词短语 作状语
因为这方面 一个大学学位是被雇主接受的在某一特定领域里的 能力证明,
extent to which 就是 to the extent
原句 就等于 to the extent a college degree is accepted by employers 。。。。

Answer 3

because of这个介词短语后面是名词the extent.
名词extent后面有个定语从句，关系代词是which。在这个定语从句中需要短语to the extent，所以the extent后的定语从句是to which
to the extent的意思是“到……的程度”

Answer 4

因为在某种程度上，大学文凭被雇主们看作是在某一领域个人能力的证明，大学毕业生们不仅更有可能获得更多可供选择的职位，而且比起那些没有大学文凭的应聘者，大学毕业生也能获得更丰厚的薪水。
