请教一道语法题 和og12-112很相似的一道

露比Alice

After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it would be forced to accept a one billion dollar loss, an expense that would have forced its main competitor to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(A)    After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it would be forced to accept a one billion dollar loss, an expense that would have forced its main competitor to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(B)    As the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it accepted a one billion dollar loss; forcing its main competitor to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(C)    After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, its one billion dollar loss would have to be accepted; such a loss would have forced its main competitor to declare bankruptcy.

(D)    After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it was forced to accept a one billion dollar loss; its main competitor would have been forced to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(E)    When the company recalled one of its best-selling products, a one billion dollar loss it was forced to accept, an expense that would have forced its main competitor into bankruptcy.






正确答案选D我理解的句意是：这个公司召回它的产品，被迫接受一亿元的损失；它主要的竞争对手将会被迫宣布破产如过它（竞争对手）承受这样一个损失。
我想不明白 d选项汇总的最后一个it不是有指代its main competitor 和 the company的歧义么？？还有分号后面的代词是可以指代分号前面的内容的么？


诚心求教！！！

(D)    After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it was forced to accept a one billion dollar loss; its main competitor would have been forced to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

d的错误在于分号后第一个it指代的是company,第二个it指代是competitor.
曼哈顿中指出，同一句句子中，it, they 只能指代同一个名词。如果一个it指代了2个不同名词，错!

希望能帮到你

分号后的it与之前句子的it无关我觉得。

不好意思啊 正确答案是d 我贴的时候没注意～～我就是不明白d的指代明明不一致，为什么是正确答案？难道就因为在分号后面 it 就可以指代主语its main competitor么？还是我对这个句子的理解是错的？-- by 会员 huanglianjing (2013/3/6 18:02:37)

个人觉得c比较好啊

这是由两个状语从句组成的，各自独立，只有逻辑联系。原则上，从句的代词和主句主语相一致。所以这两个从句的两个it 分别应指代the company，competitor。

但是这样不就是分号后的its 指代前面句子的company 而it 指代 its main competitor 了么？its和it 指代的对象不一致也可以么？-- by 会员 kiwifoodtown (2013/3/7 8:18:03)

这两个指代当然不一样了，你从句子逻辑意思上也能清楚的看出来。

我记得我在Manhattan上看过在同一个句子中同一个代词指代的对象应该是一样的啊？-- by 会员 kiwifoodtown (2013/3/12 7:48:07)
