Howdy!
In this weeks video, I cover an important concept tested in Sentence Correction on the GMAT. I enlist Tolstoy to help illustrate what you need to know about antecedents and possessive pronouns. This is subtle trap that pops up on a lot of questions. But what's nice is that once you know what to look for, it is easy to identify and avoid these problematic constructions.

Thanks for the video. In light of this, I am having trouble understanding how the following is correct:
Among the objects found in the excavated temple were small terra-cotta effigies left by supplicants who were either asking the goddess Bona Dea's aid in healing physical and mental ills or thanking her for such help.
There is no "Bona Dea" mentioned in the sentence, so, "her" (object pronoun) should have been incorrect here.
Can you please explain.

As far as I can tell this sentence is not correct and does not follow the rules that I pointed out in the video. Where did this sentence come from? If this is not from a reputable source, like GMAT Prep or the Official Guide to the GMAT, then this might be a flawed question. This mistake would not occur on the GMAT. If this did in fact come from the materials published by the GMAC, then I would check the wording of the sentence or check the answer to make sure this is actually the correct answer.
I would write the sentence as follows to correct the error:
"Among the objects found in the excavated temple were small terra-cotta effigies left by supplicants who were either asking the goddess Bona Dea to aid in healing physical and mental ills or thanking her for such help."
Let me know where the question came from and I'll be able to be more helpful!
