It wasonly after Katharine Graham became publisherof The WashingtonPost in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and itwas under her command that the paper won high praise for itsunrelenting reporting of the Watergate scandal.

A.   It was only after Katharine Grahambecame publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the firstrank of American newspapers, and it was under her command that the paper wonhigh praise

B.   It was only after Katharine Graham'sbecoming publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the firstrank of American newspapers, and under her command it had won high praise

C.   Katharine Graham became publisher of TheWashington Post in 1963, and only after that did it move into the first rank ofAmerican newspapers, having won high praise under her command

D.   Moving into the first rank of Americannewspapers only after Katharine Graham became its publisher in 1963, TheWashington Post, winning high praise under her command

E.     Moving into the first rank of American newspapersonly after Katharine Graham's becoming its publisher in 1963, The WashingtonPost won high praise under her command

答案是A。我当时做的时候因为publisher of The Washington Post中it不能指代 The Washington Post直接把ABC都排除了。。。。= =
我也忘了我是在哪里看到的，好像是某个NN的语法笔记，说A of B，it不可指代B。。。不知道这个是相对错误还是绝对？
我实在太不认真了。。。。现在也找不到那个笔记了。。。。网上找了一个多小时了。。还是木有结论！！！！
后天就要三战了。。。。现在还在垂死挣扎。。。求各位XDJM帮忙~~~~~~~
PS：目前各个选项的错误基本还是懂一点，主要是这个A of B，it不可指代B的这个知识点希望得到大家解答！！！！
附送一题OG13-81（P743）

Fossils of the arm ofa sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, anddated at 34 million years old,

made it the earliestknown mammal of the Greater Antilles Islands.

(A) sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old,made it the earliest known mammal of

(B) sloth, that theyfound in Puerto Rico in 1991, has been datedat 34 million years old, thus making it the earliest mammal known on

(C) sloth that wasfound in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34million years old, making this the earliest known mammal of

(D) sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million yearsold, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on

(E) sloth which, foundin Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34million years old, made the sloth the earliest known mammal of

OG对A的解释是，because the sloth is the object of a preposition and not the subject of the sentence, there is no reasonable antecedent for the pronoun it.

可以从未划线的its得到线索，而且正确句子里还出现了the paper，可以知道it的指代。

这个。。。我知道可以看出来it指代什么，但是这种语法结构有没有错误？
还是说只要能根据意思退出it指代什么，在A of B这种结构里，是可以指代B的？
谢谢解答！！！！！~~~~~~~

喔~~~~~~我懂了！乃的意思是既然未划线部分出现了，那就可以默认指代没有问题？

it 不可以指代the paper吗？its 和it的指代物应该是同一个，虽然不同的所有格。
