likely to move code definitions and item calls independently of each other. |
Description of the problem:
In the sentence, "Our preference is to specify absolute paths because it’s more likely to move code definitions and item calls independently of each other," the word "it" in the phrase "it’s more likely to move" is confusing, because its understood referent is wrongly the previous noun phrase, "to specify absolute paths," instead of being abstract, as in the sentence, "It's raining."
Suggested fix:
The phrase should be changed to: "it’s more likely we'll move"; and thus the sentence should be changed to:
"Our preference is to specify absolute paths because it’s more likely we'll move code definitions and item calls independently of each other."
