Although partially destroyed, the archaeologists were able to infer from what remained of the inscription that the priest Zonainos was buried in the crypt.

A - Although partially destroyed, the archaeologists were able to infer
B - Although partially destroyed, the archaeologists had inferred
C - Although it had been partially destroyed, the archaeologists were able to infer
D - Partially destroyed though it had been, the archeologists had been able to infer
E - Destroyed partially, the archaeologists were able to infer

It seems to me that in every choice the archaeologists have been destroyed ... please explanations

missing pronoun / noun

by rdadbhawala » Tue May 27, 2008 10:57 am
Its not the archaeologists who are destroyed. So I am only looking to remove the ambiguity by either providing what is destroyed, or clarifying the noun / pronoun that the modifier applies to.

Option C.
khudi ko kar buland itna, ke har taqdeer se pehle,
khuda bandae se khud puchhe, ke bataa, teri razaa kya hai ...
... Iqbal.

I agree with C as all other have issues.

How ever, Can the pronoun "it" refer to a noun that comes after the pronoun?

a pronoun can come before a noun it refers to

The rule is a pronoun refers to the nearest noun

You may wanna review Kaplan verbal notes, they contain very good explanation about pronouns.

But there is no clear antecedent to "it".....

IT should refer to the remains of the priest ..... and there is no explicit mention of that in the sentence...

doesnt that rule out option "C"

It's not the remains of the priest. It's the remains of the inscription.

And the pronoun for this should be "it" which is a clear reference in C

"it" clearly refers to inscription.

C is the answer
"Native of" is used for a individual while "Native to" is used for a large group

C is not the best answer as I see few issues with this options (Pronoun issue) but C is relatively correct answer as other answer choices are changing the real meaning of the sentence.
