(A)  they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose

(B)  they can potentially devastate homeowners in that their

(C)  for homeowners they are potentially devastat­ing, because their

(D)  for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in
                    that their

(E)  it can potentially devastate homeowners, whose

为什么OG的解释说 B D中in that they, in that their 是wordy and awkward ?

正确选项是A吗？

一般不能自己添加逻辑进取。本身没有因果关系，加in that或because就改变了原来的逻辑。

in that their本身可以用简练的词代替。

我有一个问题哦：

这里的can和potentially 为什不是重复使用了?都表示可能地。。当然还有潜在地。。

正确答案是A

in that的用法是过时的，要使用for或者because等词来替代

问什么判断they 指代property values?

they 前面有两个名词， values, invetors,

这里的they 指代哪一个？

谢谢
