. Faced with an estimated $2 billion budget gap, the city's mayor proposed a nearly 17 percent reduction in the amount allocated the previous year to maintain the city's major cultural institutions and to subsidize hundreds of local arts groups.

(A)proposed a nearly 17 percent reduction in the amount allocated the previous year to maintain the city's major cultural institutions and to subsidize

(B) proposed a reduction from the previous year of nearly 17 percent in the amount it was allocating to maintain the city's major cultural institutions and for subsidizing

(C) proposed to reduce, by nearly 17 percent, the amount from the previous year that was allocated for the maintenance of the city's major cultural institutions and to subsidize

(D) has proposed a reduction from the previous year of nearly 17 percent of the amount it was allocating for maintaining the city's major cultural institutions, and to subsidize

(E) was proposing that the amount they were allocating be reduced by nearly 17 percent from the previous year for maintaining the city's major cultural institutions and for the subsidization

我想知道 為什麼 B&D 的it在解釋裡面OG都說 unclear antecedent

如果只amount不可以嗎???那變成amount was allocating我覺得這樣好像說得過去,但cd上有人說it语法上指代句子主语major,但逻辑上是city:这个城市被分配了amount的17% 是因為這樣所以解答才說不清楚嗎

(B) (D) 的 it 的確不知指啥,況且 it 不會 allocating 東西

還有個問題 (B)a reduction from the previous year of nearly 17 percent in the amount 解答上說awkward&wordy 這要怎樣解釋

還有(C)unclear whether only one budget is being reduced to subsidize the other activity 為什麼解答會這樣說???

[dibert8]

B to maintain and subsidizing are not parallel；imprecise，with unclear antecedent for it．
C for the maintenance and to subsidize are not parallel；wordy．
D for maintaining and to subsidize are not parallel；unclear whether only one budget is being reduce to subsidize the other activity；imprecise，with unclear antecedent for it．
E maintaining and the subsidization are not parallel; unclear whether one activity's budget is being reduced to maintain or subsidize the other activity imprecise．with unclear antecedent for they．

(C) 可以用動詞,不要用名詞 => wordy
(D) and 不清楚是接著連續的事件,還是要對等平衡兩件事 => unclear...
