According to some economists, the julydecrease in unemployment so that it was the lowest in two years suggests that the gradual improvement in the job market is continuing.
(A) so that it was the lowest in two years
(B) so that it was the lowest two-year rate
(C) to what would be the lowest in two years
(D) to a two-year low level
(E) to the lowest level in two years(答案)

我想问下，AB中的it，og说could refer to either decrease or unployment 但是，it不是特指么？指的应该是 the julydecrease in unemployment 整体啊怎会有歧义呢？

一般代词指代出现歧义或者是出现语意不清，只有在和具体名词进行比较时才会考虑，本题中的AB的it显然E的具体名词直接，而且无论是指代decrease还是unemployment，都应该是达到一个level，而不是达到最低

yep

I think your understanding should be right

pronoun ambiguity seems a pale split to me

the meaning should help u rule out the AB
