husbands' = husbands' shifts 比較要同類的關係 ('shifts' different from 'shifts')

一直搞得不是很懂代名詞的指代:"代名詞要清楚指代"原則
借這題問一下：
選項(A)裡的"that they..." (B) ",they..." (C)"...for them..." (E)"...they were..."
這幾個代名詞是否有"清楚指代"？該如何判斷？

代名詞指代原則: 1. 代主詞, 2. 就近指代, 3. 能不用就不用
句子結構優先於詞類;這題考點著重在平衡.
重心不在代名詞,否則規則一用下來選不到答案,但是在正確選項裡第三原則隱約可見.
