标题: 关于两道题的指代问题，求助！
在这道题中，its可以指代前面的company
In their latest press release, the company's new management stated a plan for expansion of its operations into the global software market via a series of acquisitions in Asia and Latin America.
A) the company's new management stated a plan for expansion of its operations
B) the new company's management stated that they planned on expanding its operations
C) the company's new managers stated their plan to expand its operations
D) the new company managers stated their plan for its operations, expanding
E) the company's new management stated that they planned to expand its operations

但是在这道题中，B因为it指代不了airline所以被排除了
The airline's proposed purchases of as many as 250 medium-range planes will probably be the basis of an overhaul of its routes; it is expected that they will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of continue to use feeder aircraft to bring passengers to major hubs.                  
                   A it is expected that they will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of continu               
  •           B it is expected that it will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, rather than to continue
  •           C it is expected that the number of direct point-to-point flights will increase, instead of their continuing
  •           D the airline is expected to increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, rather than continue
  •            E the airline is expected to increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of its continuing

曼哈顿语法Chapter 4说：Possessive nouns are not nouns!
就是说，X’s 不是名词（实际上是形容词），之后出现的代词不能指代x。
例子：
Wrong：Happy about his raise, Bill's celebration included taking his friends out to dinner.
Right: Happy about his raise, Bill celebrated by taking his friends to dinner

第一题中，its指代的是company's（对），而不是说it指代company。
第二题中，it想指代airline's中的airline，错。

另外，楼主方便说一下第一题出自哪嘛？

第二题我有点忘了是在哪里看到的，要么是prep，要么是OG，你可以搜一下~
