OG 12 (E)选项ETS解释的疑惑?

12.   Formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do to established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium.

(D) Because new small businesses are growing and are seldom in equilibrium, formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to them in the same way as to established big businesses.（D）

(E) New small businesses are not subject to the applicability of formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity in the same way as established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium.

og解释: Finally, the referent of they is not immediately clear in E.

1.为何ETS会这样说呢  they不是很明显指代前一句的主词New small businesses吗?还是因为有big businesses在前面? 所以在逻辑上无法很快就清楚  因为正确的(D)前面也有两个名词 但没有指代的问题

2.逻辑是否为指代的最高指标?判断的第一先决条件?

请大家帮忙确认一下  谢谢!!
