The pronoun "it" has to refer to a noun elsewhere in the sentence. What noun is the antecedent? Energy? So the sentence would read "more than ten times as much energy... as energy was in 1990"? (The antecedent should be able to replace the pronoun and the sentence should still work. And that doesn't work.) Elim B and D.
hi, is it because the "energy in 1990" is not exactly kind of "the energy now" (as it is more than ten times) that we can't use "it" in the underlined words? And that's why we eliminate (b) and (d) to vote for (e)
Can someone help me with my question?
