1. Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north. (C) that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them C 是错误答案，OG的解释是THEM的指代不清晰，看了别的帖子也看到了说them不能指代介词短语中的名词，对于这个解释始终不是十分明白，
One thing i've found is that the GMAT does not often allow antecedents that are buried deep in the sentence. "people" is buried under three layers of prepositions and is therefore not going to be your antecedent here.) 这个是帖子里看到的解释，是因为太多层介词包围就不能指代？
2.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. (D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun 这一题原句中they不能指代所有格，D是正确答案，可是这里they不是也指代了fees of investment officers介词短语里的名词么...
表达有点凌乱估计也有很多漏洞，求指教解答，感激不尽~

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 关于代词的ambiguity，从版版的千行里摘抄出来以供LZ参考： a. OBVIOUS pronoun ambiguity: the pronoun is PARALLEL to the WRONG noun, and is NON-parallel to the noun that is clearly intended. b. all other pronoun ambiguity.
if i see a, i eliminate. if i see b, i DON'T necessarily eliminate, unless i have literally exhausted ALL other avenues of eliminating answers.
OG is not terribly consistent in its rules about pronoun ambiguity, so, unless you're looking at an extremely clear-cut case, you should ALWAYS look at anything else you can get your hands on first.
If you see an AMBIGUOUS PRONOUN that is SPLIT AGAINST A SPECIFIC NOUN -- i.e., it is replaced by a specific noun in other answer choices -- then you can probably feel safe in eliminating it.
if the ambiguous pronoun is NOT split against a specific noun, then you may want to think twice about eliminating it.
发现帖子划线部分也没弄好...汗....重新贴一下，直接贴疑惑选项的完整版好了： (C)Laos has a land area that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north. 还是真的只能说在这里就是不能指代介宾短语里的名词...也没有别的方法可以解释出个所以然了...
谈谈自己的看法：with a population of only four million people是修饰Laos的成分，而且明显去掉后也不会造成laos的定义不清楚的情况，所以不影响整个句子而可以去掉来看句子，但是去掉之后，them显然无所指代，所以OG才说them是对所有格中的pl的弱指代 但是看第二个句子，fees of officers中虽然of officers也是修饰成分，但是是显然不可以去掉的，因为会造成fees的定义不清楚，所以这两个句子会有不同的情况。 但是就像兔子说的，代词指代往往不能作为absolute rule~我记得ron总结过，gmat中代词指代只有两个条件：代词指代前面出现过的名词；单复相同。
