Because the management of a large corporation will often refer to macro economic forecasts when it plans for the future , it is probable that its belief in their soundness is significant.

A It is probable that its belief in their soundness is significant.
B It is probable that the soundness of their belief would be significant
C Believing their soundness is probably not significant
D The significance of their belief on the soundness is probable.
E Its belief in their soundness is probably significant.

THe OA is
E

But how can it be correct since "its" is a possessive pronoun nd possessive pronouns can refer back only only to possessive nouns.

Please explain .. thanks in advance

Pls note:

Rule that possessive noun is referred by possessive noun is a one way rule this means that only when the noun is possesive, possessive pronouns must be used BUT not the other way round

this means, if you just have look at possessive pronouns like "its", "his" and "her" , donot assume that noun should be made possessive


In Preetha's car, she can always play music of her choice


Incorrect since the rule is not applied ( Possessive noun...> Possessive pronoun)

Preetha always plays her favorite music in her car

Correct ( Preetha is not possessive, her is possessive)


Pls let me know for any further query...

C changes the meaning..." NOT " significant

Also Antecedent to their is ambiguous..Does it refer to Management or forecasts
