The only way for growers to salvage frozen citrus is to process them quickly into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns

(A) to process them quickly into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns

(B) if they are quickly processed into juice concentrate before warmer weather returns to rot them

(C) for them to be processed quickly into juice concentrate before the fruit rots when warmer weather returns

(D) if the fruit is quickly processed into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns

(E) to have it quickly processed into juice concentrate before warmer weather returns and rots the fruit.



The best answer is E

ETS的解釋如下：

E has parallel infinitives and uses fruit to refer unambiguously to citrus.

E also expresses the cause-and-effect relationship between the return of warmer weather and the rotting of the fruit.

我想問的是，如果E答案的 the fruit 改成it，它會如何導致ambiguous，因為我想來想去他都只能指citrus

如果E選項改為it 因為E的原句已經有to have "it" quickly processed
根據pronoun 在同一句子中出現 應該代替同樣的先行詞
所以句意上不會有太大的問題

不過若是這個it 要代juice concentrate 就會出現問題
所以the fruit重複 清楚表達

謝謝，不過我還是有點不了解(太笨了 )
是說 the fruit 若改成 it，會導致有代juice concentrate的誤解嗎?

it可能會帶way或是citrus

所以e有ambiguity
