Ron/Stacey,
This question is a toughie for me after re-reading it 10 times I am able to understand that why this question is correct but still I has shaken my fundas up--Can you plese provide concrete explanation.
I understand that IT --is like a poison--and should not have any ambiguity. When I read A it stuck it off because it has sooooo Many It(s).
It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and it was under her command that the paper won high praise
As per my understanding if we have two Prnouns each has the same referent---Is this Correct? , even in Different Clauses?
So I thought 2nd It refers to Washington Post so 3rd It should also refer to Washington post and that's not correct.
So what are the rule behind IT?
I know i should start new thread for every questionn but questions are about IT. First one you have already address (http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/in- ... ht=cricket) but I am a bit unclear about the explanation in reference to IT(S) in other questions.
234. The physical structure of the human eye enables it to sense light of wavelengths up to 0.0005 millimeters; infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters-- is too long to be registered by the eye.
A) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye
B )however, the wavelength of infrared radiation-- 0.1 millimeters--is top long to be registered by the eye making it invisible
C) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long for the eye to register it
D )however, because the wavelength of infrared radiation is 0.1 millimeters, it is too long for the eye to register and thus invisible
E) however, infrared radiation has a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long for the eye to register, thus making it invisible
Between A/C i think in C It doesn't have a clear referent so I can rule out C correct? --ANY OTHER REASON?
In next question in option D, IT is wrong because of the Clause "a work literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced IT as -----Here IT refers to what? if it refers to Work then it's redundant---Is this correct?
In 1713, Alexander Pope began his translation of the Iliad, a work that, taking him seven years until completion, and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced the greatest translation in any language.
A. his translation of the Iliad, a work that, taking him seven years until completion, and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced
B. his translation of the Iliad, a work that took him seven years to complete and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced

E. translating the Iliad, a work that had taken seven years to complete and literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced it
If the above reasoning is correct why is D in the Cricket Species question correct?
In some species of Cricket, the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can infact serve as an approximate thermometer
1. for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can infact serve
2. for attracting females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, which can infact serve
3. in attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, infact possibly serving
4. to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and it can infact serve
5. to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, infact possibly serving
Sorry for the Long post but I am confused
Questions are either from OG or GPREP.
