答案是A可我不明白那个it（红色的那个）物主代词不能指代AofB中的B的啊？

It is...that是强调句，it指代WP，不多余吧。我记得在哪个帖子里看过，也遇到过类似的题, A of B中B也是可以被指代的，貌似现在没有那么强烈的界定了。
希望对你有帮助

只有our their等代词才可以指代OF后面的成分啊.

Example,

Even after Yao became the captain of Chinese national basketball team, it still didn't make it into the final 8.

你说IT只篮球队还是YAO？IT只能代没有生命的东西，当然就没有选择而代篮球队了

如果你两个it都指代team的话，岂不是很怪异，后面那个应该用itself啊。而且我认为逻辑意思上it应该指代YAO，只是代词错了。
而且像it they等代词不指代定语的，这是语法定则啊。

“只有our their等代词才可以指代OF后面的成分啊”我原来也是这么认为的，记不得是在og11还是12上做过一道题，就是指代的A of B中B的内容，也没错，LS觉得例子就是一个，主要还是看意思的表达。
还有我觉得在LS的例子中，make it into final 8 中的it不指代任何内容，make it是一个习惯用法，就像make it happen的意思一样，跟常说的i can't make it等等一样，it没有特定指代什么，只是在表达整体的一个意思。
我还是觉得逻辑意思至上吧，如果很细究语法的话，可以发现og的解释中有些地方都是矛盾的。

我记得用这个法则做题，很多次都作出了正确选项的。。。

可是GMAT语法中it的指代只有三种用法啊，那种你说的习惯用法应该是没有的吧，有例题可以证明这种用法可以在GMAT中使用吗？
我记得上新东方是老师就说过比如 just do it 就是最典型的错误用法
it的三种用法应该是

1）特指一个前面出现过的一个单数或不可数名词或动名词（如位于句首也可以后指）。

2）形式主语（能用形式主语应尽量使用，以避免头重脚轻）或形式宾语

3）强调句型
没有别的用法了。你有什么见解？
