Does that make sense?
Mike - Can you please give an example here if that's fine ?
You need to be more specific with your question. An example of what???
On the GMAT, possessive can NEVER be a proper antecedent for a pronoun. Thus:
Melville's masterpiece Moby Dick demonstrates how fascinated he was with whaling. WRONG
Melville's masterpiece Moby Dick demonstrates how fascinated Melville was with whaling. Certainly not an exemplar of elegance, but at least this one doesn't make the pronoun mistake.
The OG SC section is simply packed with questions involving this mistake. Is this the example what you wanted to see?
