Q31:

When a ton of wheat was being moved from Buffalo to New York City before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it took three weeks and cost $100, but when the canal was used, it took less than eight days and cost less than $6.

 

1. When a ton of wheat was being moved from Buffalo to New York City before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it took three weeks and cost $100, but when the canal was used, it
2. Moving a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York City before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it took three weeks and cost $100; using the canal, it
3. Before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, moving a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York City took three weeks and cost $100; on the canal the move

A is wrong.       what is "it"??   "it" in A could be either "the openning"  or  "a ton of wheat".

哦，有道理。

今天做了很多大全的题，发现很多地方只要it出现就有点指代不明。

呵呵，谢谢解释！

in A, "was being moved"進行時感覺也不大好。

it took sb sometime to do sth, "it" refers to nothing. it is right, anyway.
