OG中对于D选项的解释我表示不理解，它的解释是 it 指代不清，存在太多可能，而首先 it 不能指代整句话（个人认为这是错误原因），前面的sea eagles 也是复数，排除；难道 OG  的意思是 指代
western Scotland 或 summer？？可是 介词短语里的名词成分 也不好指代啊。。。求各位NN，大侠解答。。。
谢谢各位~~~

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

Verb form; Grammatical construction

Bringing is the present participle of the verb to bring. As used here, it correctly describes an

action that happens at the same time as the action in the main clause; bringing indicates that the number of wild birds became 34 when the five eagles left their nests.

A Correct. The participle bringing correctly links the two ideas in the sentence.

B In this construction, the subject of the second verb must be the same as the subject

of the first verb, but fi ve eagles cannot grammatically or logically be the subject of brings.

C It brings is the wrong tense.

D There are too many possible referents for it.

E Five eagles can be the grammatical subject of brought, but not the logical one; it was not

the eagles themselves but rather the entire action of their leaving their nests that brought the number to 34.

The correct answer is A.

你上面的例子没有具体语境我无法判断，但代词是可以指代介词的宾语的，比如：
The pile of plates fell off the table;many of them were broken.
i've seen instances in which pronouns can clearly refer to objects of prepositions. however, in all of those cases, the pronouns themselves were ALSO objects of prepositions - so they were PARALLEL to the referent nouns.
以上引自Ron 的讲解，是没有问题的。可以指代介词的宾语成分，但一般要平行才会指代清晰。

指代不可以指代介词内部的宾语吧，比如at home, it , 那么it 是不可以指代home的吧？....

请大牛赐教！ 一直对于指代问题弄得不清楚

我一直对这个指代问题弄不清楚，有没有大牛赐教！
额...今天刚好看到这个问题，已经忘记自己以前提了这个问题哈~
代词是可以指代 介词短语内部的成分的（比如介词的宾语），
但一般在平行的情况下才认为是指代清晰，像这种不平行的情况，一般都认为是指代不清。
OG的解释是正确的，是我自己以前想的不对。

那能不能问一下，既然是前面的动作导致后面的发生，为什么bringing不是表结果，而是伴随呢？OG解释说是 ...

the "ing" action is adirect AND immediate consequences of the main action.
因为是立即产生的结果，OG上说同时也是可以的。

Five fledgling sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer,

and brought to 34 the number of wild birds successfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.
and 连接两个句子。OG的意思是 共用一个主语，即 left 和 brought 平行，则从语法角度来说 brought 的主语就是 Five fledgling sea eagles，但逻辑上讲不通。

D.Five fledgling sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer, and it brought to 34 the number of wild birds successfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.
在E的选项中写到 it was not the eagles themselves but rather the entire action of their leaving their nests that brought the number to 34. 所以是上面这群鸟离开的整个事件引起的数量增加

p.s  E中为毛用brought就是five eagles是主语了
