....to give regular financial aid to their children than to receive it from them.

their refers to the elderly  but them refers to children 會不會產生歧異??

一个句子里面代词指代一般是要指代同一个对象的。不过我以前也看到过类似的没有指代同一个。

但是逻辑意思非常清楚，你能够很清楚看出来指代的对象是谁。那就不会产生歧义了。

而且GMAT语法的答案是比较出来的。

想问一下D为什么不对呢？大全里解释说they指代不清，但是c不也是指代不同的人么，为什么C可以呢？
