Although the vast constellation of small islands that dot the South Pacific has a population of only a few million people, it is home to about a sixth of the world's 6,000 or so languages.

 

(A) Pacific has a population of only a few million people, it is

(B) Pacific has a population of only a few million people, they are

(C) Pacific is populated by a only a few million people, and it is

(D) Pacific, having a population of only a few million people, is nonetheless    答案：A

(E) Pacific, populated by only a few million people, yet they are

请问vast constellation怎么能是home呢，island作home还差不多啊，既然如此只能用they are而不是it is了啊，也不会产生什么歧义。

请NN指教。

A constellation of means a group of ..,just like a  team of ..., ; and home here is singular form, so the subject should be singular from too.

这里使用it不会错误的指向pacific吗？

回LS，不会。因为这个句子中前一个分句和后一个分句用although 连接，后一个分句使用代词指代的是前一个分句的主语。
