If additional deposits of oil are found, it will expand the amount that can be used as fuel and reduce the price of oil, even if the deposits are not immediately tapped.
(A) it will expand the amount that can be used as fuel and reduce the price of oil
(B) the amount that is able to be used as fuel will expand and the price of oil be reduced
(C) it will cause an increase in the amount that is able to be used as fuel and a reduction in the price of oil
(D) the amount that can be used as fuel will increase and the price of oil will drop
(E) it will increase the amount of oil that can be used as fuel and cause a drop in the price

答案是D，我的疑问是 that can be used as fuel 修饰的是amount，而amount 怎么能当成燃料呢。

the amount (of oil) that can be used as fuel will increase

that定从修饰oil, the amount will increase.

amount 后面省略了“油”这一点我的看法和楼上一样。此题我的思路是这样的。ACE错的都很明显，IT在GMAT中除了指代通常只作形式主语和宾主，从不放在句首。B中的be able to be done也是GMAT中极典型的错误，从没作为过正确答案，所以用排除法较好
