Verbal Review 2nd edition 第21题，官方解释是they clearly refers to property values，而我却认为while引导的从句主语是depressed property values，代词应该用it。请牛人指正，谢谢！

没人做过这题吗？

自问自答：values是主语；depressed property values不是主语，如果想表达行动为主语，应该是depressing property values

楼主支持你下~~ ！！！我也在看这题~~ 把这题贴出来吧，我在纠结代词指代的问题

21. While depressed property values can hurt some large investors, [they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose ] equity——in many cases representing a life's savings——can plunge or even disappear.

(A) they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose
(B) they can potentially devastate homeowners in that their
(C) for homeowners they are potentially devastating because their
(D) for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in that their
(E) it can potentially devastate homeowners, whose

答案是：A 题中 [ ] 框起来的部分是划线部分，抱歉，忘了怎么加横线了...

我想问的是(C), OG 的解释是"their appears to refer to they(property values) rather than to homeowners"，我
就迷茫了，they 在这里不是就近指代？那是“主从句对位指代”么？我只听过这个词，不知道啥意思~~

那they 啥时候就近指代？啥时候优先指代句子主语？呜呜呜。。。。

想问谁有没有关于they、them的、it 的总结呢？我在这儿跪谢了。。。我快被代词纠结死了。。。。

如有人解答，万分感谢了！！！
