恩，从意思上看的确不可能指代problems.但看一下这个题

        As researchers continue to probe the highly expressive vocal and postural language of wolves, their close resemblance to dogs has become ever more striking.

(A) their close resemblance to dogs has become

(B) the closeness of their resemblance to dogs has become

(C) the close resemblance between them and dogs has become

(D) the close resemblance between wolves and dogs becomes（D）

(E) the close resemblance of wolves with dogs becomes

答案是D没问题，但C中的them从意思上判断显然指wolves而不是researchers,如果没有D，那么C能不能选呢？

我这样总结不知道可不可以：这里C所犯的错误是相对的，放到这个题里是错的因为有更好的选项D，而在刚才那个题里这个错误可以忽视，因为没有更好的选项了。

我感觉ETS的指代一直比较混乱。有很多时候都是相对错误，没有更好的也就是它了！

上面的这道例题，不知道them在这里是否有优先指代从句主语的要求？

谁说ETS的指代混乱?

In an assessment of the problems faced by rural migrant workers, the question of whether they are better off materially than the urban working poor is irrelevant.

they = rural migrant workers

As researchers continue to probe the highly expressive vocal and postural language of wolves, their close resemblance to dogs has become ever more striking.

即使没有D,C也不会对.

以下是引用p200002在2004-12-9 6:00:00的发言：

In an assessment of the problems faced by rural migrant workers, the question of whether they are better off materially than the urban working poor is irrelevant.

they = rural migrant workers

they没有指代problems的可能吗，当然从意思上不可能，但存在理论上的可能性啊

同样，从意思their显然指代wolves而非researchers
