120. (30859-!-item-!-188;#058&004335)

Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its core, it
expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting its outer envelope of gases to become a white dwarf.

(A) Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its core, it
expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting
(B) Like any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun's core is exhausted, then it expands
into a red giant and eventually ejects
(C) As in the case of any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun's core is exhausted, it
will expand into a red giant, and eventually ejecting
(D) As any star of similar mass would, once the hydrogen in the Sun's core is exhausted it will
expand into a red giant and will eventually eject
(E) As would be the case with any star of similar mass, once the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its
core, it will expand into a red giant and eventually eject


这道题似乎已经被讨论了很多次了，可是我找了很多贴子都没有发现有关于E选项指代问题的讨论，我想请问一下E选项中once the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it will expand into a red giant and eventually eject这句话，its 不是有可能指代hydrogen从而照成歧义吗？另外it 也可能指代hydrogen从而造成歧义啊？请各位指点一下，感激不尽！

今天刚好做到这道题。it没有歧义啊~主语平行指代the Sun，its从句以上来理解也是指代the Sun，没有歧义，同一句话的代词都指代同一个东西，即the Sun。代词指代的东东要从语义上理解，包括平行指代的都有挺多例外的。不要轻易通过指代不明排除选项。
