谢谢你的回答。原句是这样的: 1,Much of the local artisans' creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images and on consturction and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined.
这里的they指代了of后面的temples.
但是 2,Fossils of the arm of a sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of the Greater Antilles islands. 解释说这句之所以错是因为it不能指代sloth...可是这个不也是of后面的词么?
恩,第二句话的解释是because sloth is the object of a preposition and not the subjcet of the sentence, there is no reasonable antecedent for the pronuon it. 按这样说,好像A of B的B是不能指代的喔。。我觉得,代词好像只能指代充当主语的词,比如说充当宾语,表语的时候就不能指代。 是这样么。。
