标题: OG11-57it指代问题？

57. 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

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

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

Grammatical construction + Verb form

Conditional constructions require specc verb tenses. For a past condition, the subordinate clause introduced by if uses the past indicative, and the main clause uses the conditional
ifx happened, then y would happen.

A The verb was should be the conditional would be; wordy and imprecise

B Correct. This clear, concise sentence

correctly uses the conditional would never be.

C The verb was should be the conditional

would be; pronoun it is ambiguous and could

refer to either Morocco or Algeria

D It, not that, should be used to refer back to Morocco;
could never be secure about their grip is awkward

E        Inverted word order is awkward and confusing;
            it could refer to either
            Morocco or
            Algeria

The correct answer is B.

绿色部分不明白，it不是泛指主谓宾么，为什么可以指代Algeria？

their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it 这句连下来就很容易联想到Algeria了啊

但是it不是泛指主谓宾么？

Algeria
只是做定语啊？
请指正

有这个说法么？如果有，还望LZ请给出确切的出处

字典上说的应该是：it指代前面出现过的名词

新东方笔记写的是：it为特指词，指某个特定词及其全部的定语修饰

如果这样的话，那C里的it应该指代their grip on Algeria 不是么？

还是我哪里理解错了？

谢谢指正

是这样~
it指代前文中的单数名词单数名词短语不可数名词

(C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it
it 既可以指代前文中的ALGERIA 有可以是M
代词没有只能指代主谓宾这一说`但是代词的逻辑指代顺序有主谓宾这一说
(B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure

B中 it指代前文中那个M`因为只有那个M在前文中是单数名词

it或they在主句中只指代【主句】中其前面出现的名词

it或they在从句中可指代【主句】或【从句】中其前面出现的名词
