LZM E7-5 关于从句先于主句出现时,代词的指代

whitecloud57179

E7-5 Seeming to be the only organization fighting for the rights of poor people in the South, Hosea Hudson, a laborer in Alabama, joined the Communist party in 1931.
(A )Seeming to be
(B) As
(C)In that they seemed
(D)Since in seemed
(E) Because it seemed to be

我也选答案(E) ,因为没有其他答案比它更合适. 但是我还是有点不明白这里(E)中it的指代.因为一般来说 ,从句先于主句出现时,代词优先指代主句的主语,所以我常常用它作为选答案的依据.但这里it显然不是指代Hosea Hudson而是指代the Communist party .所以象这种代词的指代也要根据句子的意思来确定吗?

是的，我想是这样。
毕竟，不是说“只能指代主句主语”啊。
