大全833？

1.                  The Supreme Court’s concern with legitimacy is not for the sake of the court but the nation to which it is responsible.

(A) but the nation to which it is responsible

(B) but for the sake of the nation to which it is responsible

(C) so much as the nation it is responsible to

(D) as the nation it is responsible to（B）

(E) but the nation

E

请问B中的it是指代什么？

it 应该从语法上refer to主语The Supreme Court’s concern with legitimacy ，但从逻辑上应该指代The Supreme Court’s ，矛盾？

另外，for the sake of 与前面重复，wordy可以省略吗？（but the nation to which it is responsible）?

Responsible to：required to render account; answerable:有责任答复的：需要作出交代的；应负责的（美国传统词典）:The cabinet is responsible to the parliament(内阁对国会有应答义务)

for the sake of:为了。

结构对称。it=The Supreme Court
