Good day all
my question is the following:
the OA is C but according to my understanding we have two related clauses, the growth hormone is the object of the first clause, and it is a subject pronoun that refer to growth hormone in the second clause. i thought that objects should be referred to in the second clause by object pronouns?
please correct me if i'm missing something.
thanks a lot in advance
