Logical predication; Grammatical construction In this sentence, the there are ... that... construction contributes nothing more than unnecessary words. The sentence needs to make clear whether provisions or code is the subject of the main verb stimulated.
A The there are... that... construction is unnecessarily wordy, in the predicate nominative instead of the subject position, provisions is not an obvious referent for the pronoun they.
B Correct. In this sentence, the new maritime code is clearly the antecedent of it in the main clause and thus the subject of has already stimulated.
C Under provisions of the new maritime code is a misplaced modifier, seeming to describe sea areas,the sentence does not make clear what is stimulating... disputes.
D The referent of thisis unclear.
E The sentence is a fragment, opening with a dependent clause (Because ... code) and concluding with a relative clause, but lacking a main, independent clause.
The correct answer is B.
