关于形式主语指代的问题，做过Prep and Gwd的进来

SilentKitty

看过Prep注解版的朋友肯定注意到了  It不能指代介词短语(It took less than 35 years from the release.错误)，可以指代主语从句和不定式结构，例如It is difficult to say. It is important that we finished on time. 例如Prep[1-3]和Prep[1-14]。

我想问的是for...也是介词短语吧？那为什么GWD3-Q22题

On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.

 

A.    On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

B.     With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

C.     A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding

D.    Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

E.     Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

这题我选的B，答案是D，总觉得D中making it a crime中的it指代for短语不对  大家帮帮忙

plato1983

D中it指代的是to hold....,没有问题

我从另外几个方面比较B和D。

从题意看，immigrants found 的前面是found的原因。with一般是伴随动作或者状态，because引原因。D好。

 passed in 1933 that 。that跟在1933后面，这样不好，所以选D
