This is an interesting topic that recently came up on Reddit.
So… can you use a possessive antecedent on GMAT?
By the way, if you don’t know what a possessive antecedent, it’s the situation here:
So you’ll notice that in the correct answer, D), the “she” refers back to a possessive (“EBB’s”). This is a possessive antecedent. If that’s still not clear, just watch the video already.
This is an advanced technique and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you know you’re flying 680+ with your Verbal questions.
It’s what I like to call a 98% Rule: 98% of the time, throw out an answer like this, but when push comes to shove–that is, all the other answers are shit–you can choose it.
Remember, only when the other answers are clearly, demonstrably incorrect.
