大全59：关于it的指代，有点糊涂了……

59.       Affording strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco was also of interest to the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century because they assumed that if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure.

(A) if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure

(B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure

(C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it

(D) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria（B）

(E) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it

一开始看这5个选项，觉得每个it指代的都是Algeria，但是看了答案后体会出A、B的it指的是前面提到的Morocco。想问一下，当一个代词前后都出现可以指代的名词时，这个代词是不是只能指代前面的那个名词？

不一定，偶现在想到的一个反例，就是关于某人加入共产党的那题，前方的it指的就是出现在句子最后的communist party

从意思判断只能是Morocco

代词相对灵活 最好从意思判断 不要去抠语法规则

好像不可以用意思来看只代哪个吧，那样岂不很多句子都没歧异了。应该在语法上存在多种理解的就是错误选项

想问下，这题中出现的第一个they指代Morocco吗？

---NO,制代 THE FRANCH.
