求问个do so.

AmoHolmes

The first English settlers to establish a permanent colony in America did it not at Plymouth but along the shore of the James River west of Chesapeake Bay.

A.    it not at Plymouth but
B.    so not at Plymouth but
C.    not at Plymouth but instead
D.    not at Plymouth but did so
E.    it not at Plymouth but rather




answer is B


想问一下,为什么A不行? It可以指代前面的conoly啊,句意上感觉也说得通啊.
还有do so这个用法有谁能帮忙拓展一下么?

作者想表达的是did (establish a permanent colony) 所以替代括号里要用so而不是it，再者用it我们代入原文来看..The first English settlers...did colony (it)...明显不make sense
