hi guys/ experts,

1.Pollution is harmful, prevent it.

Q:can pronoun it refer to pollution.? is this sentence correct.

thanks. i have completely edited my post ...deleted 2 sentences. sorry for trouble guys.
i agree these sentences may not be within GMAT context... but i just wanna know the role of "sooner or latter" (in deleted sentence)..is it modifier or what.??

.... above sentence is short, but , i hope, not outside the scope of GMAT.( a pronoun rule tested.)

sorry for any trouble. i was definitely not intended so.
thanks.

hi reply2spg,

statement Q1 is not mine. It is headline of a newspaper's article. My fellow passenger was reading the page. (if you like, i can provide you the link also)

BTW i have edited my post, and my intention was not to create any controversy, but just curiosity about statement.


....dont take it religious or personal.

statement Q2-a modified version of Q1.
statement Q3- not controversial at all. isn't it..??

As Ron said "in SC in general, if you try to formulate any rule that says "word X is always correct, and word Y is always incorrect", independently of context, then, 99.99% of the time, your rule will be invalid.", and thus it is important that we discuss issues within GMAT context.

A sentence may be regarded as grammatically correct by whichever authority, but GMAT could easily refute it without consideration.

So if you have a question, cite the question within GMAT context, or perhaps consider a grammar forum instead.
Yep.

Thank you!
