10. A large rise in the number of housing starts in the coming year should boost new
construction dollars by several billion dollars, making the construction industry’s
economic health much more robust than five years ago.
(A) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than
five years ago
(B) and make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than
five years ago
(C) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it
was five years ago
(D) to make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than
five years ago
(E) in making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than
it as five years ago

答案是C，可我觉得it was five years ago 很不好！首先it指代不明，且was加时间逻辑不对，这不是典型的比较错误项么？是不是答案错误啊！！我觉得选A吧

A"making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than
five years ago"
is ambigous. compare action? or compare results?

C is clear. "It" refers to "construction industry's economic health". what else can "it" refer to?

还是不太理解，就算是it指代明确，可construction industry's economic health和时间的关系也不能用be来连接吧，逻辑不通啊？
