Hi, thanks for posting that fabulous video. I like it so much. Actually, I have some question about this explanation. In choice A, the first "it" could infer to "Heavy commitment" rather than "empty it" mentioned. In my opinion, the second it could refer to "empty it". Does it make sense or I am thinking in the wrong direction?

Hi Peng,

The reason the "it" cannot refer to "heavy commitment" is that "commitment" is not an actor and cannot do the verb "miss signs..."
