Japan received huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War, using it to help build a modern industrial system.

(A)Japan received huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War, using it to help build
(B)Japan received huge sums of capital form the United States after the Second World War and used it to help in building
(C)Japan used the huge sums of capital it received from the United States after the Second World War to help build
(D)Japan's huge sums of capital received from the United States after the Second world War were used the help it in building
(E)Receiving huge sums of capital from the United States after the second World War, Japan used it to help build

答案：Ｃ
劉振民的解答：ＡＢＥ的it從邏輯上看,指代的是the huge sums of capital,而顯然二者在數上不一致
Ｄ的it應指japan,但在語法上由於japan在it 之前是作定語的,it 不可能指代它,而惟一可指代的就是the United States,顯然改變了句意,同時D中的被動語態也不可取

我的問題是：答案A:it在做指代時,不是應從最近的先指代？為何不是指代最近的代名詞the second World War?而是he huge sums of capital?
是以語意為優先嗎？

如果是這樣不就要翻 "使用第二次世界大戰" 不可能巴
而是he huge sums of capital?

不過,我不懂C為何要有 it

有道理,還是以語意優先吧,謝謝！

C的答案,從it開始是子句,用來形容the huge sums of capital,真正的動詞是used ...to help build
