Experts Global Explanation:
Pronoun
A. This answer choice is free of pronoun ambiguity and appropriately uses the “would…if” construction to convey the conditional nature of information. Thus, this answer choice is correct.
B. This answer choice features a pronoun error, as the pronoun “they” has no clear antecedent.
C. This answer choice incorrectly uses the present continuous tense verb “arising” rather than the “would…if” construction to refer to a conditional information. Please remember, the “would…if” construction is preferred for conveying a conditional nature of information.
D. This answer choice repeats the pronoun error seen in Option B, incorrectly using the pronoun “they” without a clear antecedent. Further, Option D repeats the error seen in Option C, incorrectly using the present continuous tense verb “arising” rather than the “would…if” construction to refer to the conditional nature of information.
E. This answer choice incorrectly uses the simple future tense verb “will rise” rather than the “would…if” construction to refer to a conditional information. Please remember, the “would…if” construction is preferred for conveying a conditional nature of information.
A is the best answer choice.
