Hello,



Please assist in grammar of passage below.



This is question from para jumbles topic.



A) Nationalist railed against the caste system and wanted to eliminate untouchability.



B) But it was mostly a humanitarian desire to improve the lot of the low caste and to send a clear message to the agrarian high caste that this system is inconsistent with modern society.



C) Sentiment against caste has been gathering among modern Indians for more than a hundred years.



D) It was partly because of caste hindered economic advance.



Correct Sequence is CADB.



My question is - If CADB is correct sequence, then what is the antecedent of pronoun IT (option D).



"Sentiment" acts as an antecedent here for "it" .

Let's practice sentence correction a bit today….
