This is a GMATPrep Question too.

Since the question requires us to pick an answer choice between an infinitive and For Verb-ing, there must be some rule/guideline for doing the same.

Instructors ,please help.

I have a doubt here, the kind of usage of "it" both in D and E has often been cited as incorrect (in GMAT),

is it okay to use it that way (referring to an action which is not stated)?

Hi Testluv

When you address my question, please shed some light on the usage of "it" also. I realize that "it" here function as an empty "it" or a filler. Sometimes, I confuse it with a pronoun specially when it precedes some noun and I go into the loop of pronoun ambiguity.

Any way to identify empty "it" or it just another intricacy of the language ?

Received a PM asking me to respond.
Why C and not D?
Idiom. (Annoying reason :)) if you want to say "made it possible <to do some action>" then you have to use the infinitive form of the verb. Eliminate D. (A doesn't have that exact idiom setup, so that's okay on this issue.)

The first split I'd deal with is the has/have at the beginning. Singular or plural?
Rainfall and temperature have produced and <has? have?>

Okay, that's a compound subject (rainfall and temp), so plural. Eliminate A and B. And the above examination told me the next thing to deal with: parallelism. The second verb should be parallel to "have produced." "have produced and have made" is parallel. "have produced and thus making" is not parallel. Eliminate E.

Only C is left!

The "it" thing can be tricky, yes. The most basic sentence I can think of (in which "it" doesn't refer to anything) is "It's raining." So I use that as a comparison. Is the "it" in the more complicated sentence conveying something similar to "it's raining?" That's just the state of being?

If so, then I know I don't have to worry about finding the antecedent. If not, then I do worry about it. If I'm not sure, then I go look for other stuff on which to base my decision.
