OG 12 47关于it的问题

citidandan

47. Five fledgling sea eagles left their nests in western
Scotland this summer, bringing to 34 the number of
wild birds successfully raised since transplants from
Norway began in 1975.
(A) bringing
(B) and brings
(C) and it brings
(D) and it brought
(E) and brought

为什么C,D中的it不能做为形式主语来指代逗号前的一整句句子呢？

judyenglishS

主句里面是eagles,还有their,不能用it,只有A是正确的，做伴随状态

谢谢

Five fledgling sea eagles 是复数，因此BCD不能选，
raised since transplants from
Norway began in 1975.
的时态是完成时态，所以不能选E

it指代的是fledgling sea eagles则不对，因为fledgling sea eagles为复数，而it为单数。
it不能指代句子，只有在两种情况下可以指代句子，那就是it that （eg：it is said that）  和it作形式主语+to do形式。
