Hi Ron,
I read one topic regarding Pronoun reference to a noun in a prepositional phrase:
pronoun-reference-to-a-noun-in-a-prepositional-phrase-t7725.html
In the post, you mentioned 'i've seen instances in which pronouns can clearly refer to objects of prepositions. however, in all of those cases, the pronouns themselves were ALSO objects of prepositions - so they were PARALLEL to the referent nouns.'
But in below PREP SC, 'it' clearly refers to W Post:
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 for its unrelenting reporting of the Watergate scandal
Can you help? Thanks Ron.
