67. Affording strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco was also of interest to the French throughout
the first half of the twentieth century because they assumed that if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure.
(A) if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure
(B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure
(C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it
(D) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria
(E) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it

答案是B.

我的问题是： 1， without it的逻辑主语应该是french,怎么在这个选项里，好像their grip，好像错了；

2， A为什么不成？

谢谢。

it是Morocco吧

A中if they did not hold it，wordy~而且时态不对
B中it是指代Morocco~
我理解这句话的意思是这样的：由于M提供了战略临近SG，所以F对M感兴趣，因为F认为如果不保住M，F对A的控制就不安全

对呀，without it的逻辑主语时French啊，所以，这个B有问题啊。

我知道答案是b,但是觉得without这个介宾短语用的逻辑主语不对啊、

biantaishabi

they assume without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure
assume后面都是assume的内容的从句
without it是条件， 是说如果前面的they（French）without it
their grip on Algeria would never be secure是这个从句的主体
哪里有问题呢?

without it的邏輯主語可以是their grip

谢谢A大现身，呵呵！！

their grip on Argnia is without M...., 这个怎么那么别扭呢，他们对阿尔及利亚的掌控怎么会是with M 的逻辑主语呢？

B中的it指的不可能是the Franch呀，因为the Franch是指法国人，是复数，所以后面用了their grip，it指代不了the Franch。
