如果是assinged to do对吗? it 在这里不是多余吗? assigned...修饰experts, 不是吗? 请指教!

GWD31-Q18：很老的争议题，A,B,C都有人选
个人比较倾向于A，理由如下：
首先根据句子结构后面的if从句在，前面一定是could引出的三个并列动词，而后面两个could省略；其次因为可以推断出reduced前面有could的省略，则可以推断出reduced前面必有助动词be；再者有be better enforced在，后面的reduced前面的be省略合情合理.
对于B中，助动词与系动词无法并列.
C中it必然是指代city，但是city无法主动地去reduce crime rate.

GWD31-37:be assigned to do是固定搭配所以排除B,C,D.而E里面在it前面省略了that，因为experts在定从里做宾语，而且it的指代也比较清晰。"assigned to do"我同意，直接一个过去分词短语作为(被动)修饰词.
