I read this sentence in GMAT prep how is this sentence correct here which should refer to Business( according MGMAT SC) but it is refering to equipment which does not make any sense.

David had been a great tennis champion in his youth, but decided to change professions in adulthood and began a small business selling tennis
equipment, which, to this day, he still runs.

don't study grammar/sc rules based on critical reasoning or reading comprehension material. I remember reading replies from one of the instructors (I think Stacey) stating that sentences from CR and RC do not necessarily follow the same rules which are tested in SC.

So you can actually see a sentence from RC or CR that would be wrong under the SC criteria.
