[求助] 请教一道语法题

开若兰

该题是云南教育出版社出版的那本蓝皮书《商学院入学考试指导【中】》专题讲解十一：修饰（第37页）的第2题。

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 from 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 to 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

标准答案是（C）。因为不明白（C）中的 it 在句中做什么成分，我选择了(B)。有没有人能够解释一下正确答案吗？

非常清楚，谢谢 karen_gao。

C 中it指代Japan，做定语从句 “it received from the United States after the Second World War” 的主语

 

B有两个错误，一是huge sums of capital 是复数，后面it 是单数；二是help的用法不对，

help in building错误，应该是help build。
