标题: 问一道关于代词it的题目
OG13的85题

According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier generations.
(A) like that of earlier generations
(B) as that for earlier generations
(C) just as earlier generations did
(D) as have earlier generations
(E) as it was of earlier generations

这道题目一直没搞懂过。正确是E。平行结构我看懂了，但OG解释是it 指代前文主语，也就是owning and living，但是前文不是有一个its指代house了么，同一句句子里的it和its能指向不同的目标么？

第二it的用法不是代词,代词只能指代noun, 而这里的it指代的是整个句子主语owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land，是Placeholder It的用法,而Placeholder it是没有先行词的;

比如: IT is futile TO RESIST temptation. (因为主语较长，把主语TO RESIST temptation 后置，it来填补它的位置 )

题中后半句也可以还原为：It was a goal of ealier generatioins to own and live in a freestanding house on its own land.
