D.      lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,

E.       so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

答案E

之前的帖都没有讨论到her的指代问题耶。

这个her可以指代 Frances Perkins 吗，可是所有格的指代不是错的吗。

例如OG 90

90. Since 1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers' fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.

A.      investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began

B.       investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

C.       that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun

D.      fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun

E.       that investment officers' fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

The clause beginning Since 1986... indicates that the practice described in the second clause continued for some period of time after it began. Choice D, the best answer, supplies the present perfect have begun, which conveys this continuity; D also uses a construction that is appropriate when "allow" means "permit": allow... to be based on. Choices A, B, and E incorrectly use the past tense began rather than the present perfect; furthermore, in each of these options, they has no referent, since officers is a possessive modifier of fees. (所有格—‘s—中的名词是不能作为指代对象得，应该变成of结构以后才可以)Choices A and C include the awkward phrase based on how the funds they manage perform Choices C and E incorrectly use allow that ... fees be based

这一题不能用这个所有格指代来做排除选项。可是我在做题时一直有这个疑惑。

open to discuss~~
