A.    Elk now live almost solely in the Rocky Mountains, which would make it seem that elk are mountain dwellers, while
B.    The fact that elk now live almost solely in the Rocky Mountains would make it seem that they are mountain dwellers, but
C.    It would seem that elk would be mountain dwellers because of their living now solely almost in the Rocky Mountains, but still
D.    Now living almost solely in the Rocky Mountains, it would seem that elk were mountain dwellers, although
E.    It seems that elk would be mountain dwellers from the fact that they now live solely almost in the Rocky Mountains, since

提问:B中的it的用法是指代fact还是it seems that的变体?GMAT中有别的例子吗?谢谢!

it是一個形式主語呢,形式主語一般說的是整件事,因為The fact that....那分句太長,沒有特別的一個名詞要指代,用it指的是這件事。

換個角度來想,it也不可能只帶fact,因為這樣這個fact seem that...邏輯不通啊,fact怎麼可能seem that...

例如這樣的例子吧。

The fact that she is unexperienced made it impossible to complete the target.
這個it一定要在這,作為形式主語,但是不是來指代fact的。

這樣講明白麼?

嗯。谢谢ls的详细分析!只是这种用法没怎么碰到过。。。
对B的犹豫就是因为不明确it指代fact还是make it seem that的形式宾语,这不是传说中OG忌讳的ambiguous/unclear吗?
