It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and it was under her command that the paper won high praise for its unrelenting reporting of the Watergate scandal.

 

(A) It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and it was under her command that the paper won high praise

(B) It was only after Katharine Graham's becoming publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and under her command it had won high praise

(C) Katharine Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1963, and only after that did it move into the first rank of American newspapers, having won high praise under her command

(D) Moving into the first rank of American newspapers only after Katharine Graham became its publisher in 1963, The Washington Post, winning high praise under her command

(E) Moving into the first rank of American newspapers only after Katharine Graham's becoming its publisher in 1963, The Washington Post won high praise under her command

我知道E中sb's doing不正确，但A 中第二个it如何确定是指代washington post呢？

划钱后面有its，这里人不能用它指代，所以只能指报纸

tonect

答案是否选A？

在GMAT中，通常两个it 是不能指代同一个词的，但这道题选项里能称得上是句子的都有两个it，只能忍了

这道题里能用it指代的只有Washington Post
                ，因为Katharine Graham是人，不能用it指代

这句话里第一个和最后一个it都是强调句的句式中必须用的it，中间的it指代Washington Post

是选A

为什么只有回帖才能看

这是强调句，把it was only...that去掉就好做了

xingym

这种 it is ....that...的强调句型不是wordy的表现吗？
