Although the coordination of monetary policy can help facilitate the orderly financing of existing imbalances, it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant
                        in the absence of an appropriate fiscal adjustment.
(A) it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant
(B) it is unlikely that the size of their effect would be significant
(C) affecting their sizes are not likely to be significant
(D) the significance of their effect on its size is unlikely
(E) its effect on their size is not likely to be significant

E中的not likely 根本就是错的嘛~~ 为什么不能选A呢？？

谁提到过not likely是错的？转折句前后的句子要对等，像a那样用一个逻辑主语的就不是简洁的用法，而且你把a项还原： that its effect on their size is significant is unlikely ，正确吗？
