A 指代有问题

Snazzy

it should not be a problem of pron. since both A and E have     'its'
and 'their'.     yet, 'be likely/unlikely to do sth/ be + adj.'

I agree! This is subject- agreeement issue. That is, in (A) and E, change has been made to the subject, thereby changing the meaning of the    main clause.

Chamao

In (a), it(S) is(V) unlikely (that (its effect on their size...) adj clause)


In (e), its effect on their size(S) is (v)+ C (    not likely to be significant...)


I think e is more precise. But how would I know when I am at the test?????

是不是be likely／unlikely后面不能跟从句？只能加不定式？
