请教白勇语法中的指代问题。P101 34题

Japan received huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War,using it to help build a modern industrial system

A) Japan received huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War,using it to help build

B) Japan received huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War and used it to help in building

C) Japan used the huge sums of capital it received from the United States after the Second World War to help build

D) Japan's huge sums of capital received from the United States after the Second World War were used to help it in building

E) Receiving huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War,Japan used it to help build

Key is C.

白勇在书中的解释是 A.B.E 选项。 -ing  分词短语中的it 语法上应该指代主句中的单数名词the United States ,但逻辑意思是应该指代复数名词短语huge sums of capital ,代词指代在语法和逻辑上不一致，错

我的问题是：A.B.D.E 选项中的it 是否也有指代 the Second World War 的嫌疑？ 请指教

Open to discuss

时间状语不考虑在里面?

请大家继续发表意见

我觉得白勇的这种说法没什么道理，因为gmat中代词一般都是就近指代。没道理跳过 介词词组 after the Second World War.
我同意楼主，一般就近指代原则和逻辑原则不一致。比如这里it指world war。常常被当成是gmat排除选项的根据。

我印象中。代词被允许跳跃指代一般是这两种情况。1. 代词出现在that宾语从句里，作主语。则代词指代主句主语 2.代词出现在when/while/although等连词引导的状语从句里，作主语。则代词指代主句主语。

另外这句活我觉得还有一个错，根据逻辑原则，it应该指代huge sums of money,我网上查了一下，如果it指代huge sums of money,必须用plural form。

参照http://http://www.englishforums.com/English/HugeSumsMoneySingularPlural/vnhlk/post.htm

谢谢楼上的指点。 同意楼上的理解

望大家给以补充

另外，谁能详细的说说跳跃指代的问题？

自己顶下

再顶顶
