Prep 190 its 的指代 求解释

guoqi

The thirteen original British colonies in North America, some formed as commercial ventures, others as religious havens, each had a written charter that set forth its form of government and the rights of the colonists.
A.    some formed as commercial ventures, others as religious havens, each had a written charter
B.    some being formed as a commercial venture, others as religious havens, all of which had written charters
C.    some that formed as commercial ventures, others as religious havens, all had written charters
D.    with some being formed as a commercial venture, others as religious havens, all had a written charter      
E.    with some formed as commercial ventures, while others as religious havens, each had a written charter

笔记中说这里的each 是做colonies 的同位语，那么请问这里的its 指代谁呢？ 前面是复数名词 后面是its  each 虽然做同位语 但是对句子没有影响 也应该是their啊
请大家看看

顶一下 求解释 实在是不明白

难道大家都认为这个是个简单的吗？ 求斑竹回答

因为有each所以后面才用its啊，或者按照做题的逻辑，因为看到后面的its才知道前面必须用each。its指代13个原英属殖民地中“每一个”

笔记里是这么解释的，但是each作为同位语 应该是对句子没有影响 充其量只是解释。没有听说过 代词可以跟着同位语而不是跟核心词。
可能是我钻牛角尖了吧....因为确实没有见过
楼上有没有其他的例子， 谢谢了 这帖子都贴上来2天了都没人理啊 感激涕零

同意ls.

'复数n.+each'后面的谓语动词不受each影响，要用复数；但逻辑意思却是指‘每一个’，所以要用单数指代代词。

就是去掉中间两个嵌入同位语的句子，可以看到each已经是在主句结构中了，对句子是有影响的吧。each指代内容也非同位语内容，是主句中的conlonies

lz可参考07prep1#57注释中这句：
Chinese, the most ancient of living writing systems, consists of tens of thousands of ideographic characters, each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside its own square frame.

这点我有不同的看法，如果不是同位语的话，那么前面的 ”The thirteenoriginal British colonies in North America“  放在这里是什么？ 如果是说  a （+句子）， each( 指代A)  + 句子 这种指代是说得通的。而且 根据 aeoluseros 斑竹的解释 中间的嵌入部分也不是同位语，而且独立主格结构。
