Consider the following sentences,
Sam's dog is running fast, and his cat is taking a nap.
Sara's car is very clean since she spent all day washing it.
Are both sentences considered correct & acceptable on GMAT SC?
Throughout my time preparing with test prep materials, I've been come across differing opinions on this. Can someone substantiate this topic with official examples?

I don't recommend trying to apply this as an absolute. Quick recap of the "rule": Some people believe that a possessive noun can't be the antecedent for a subject or object pronoun.
1. Clinton's experience worked against her. (Her is an object pronoun here)
is the same as
2. Clinton's experience worked against Clinton.
3. Clinton's experience ended up weakening her candidature. (Her is a possessive pronoun here)
is the same as
4. Clinton's experience ended up weakening Clinton's candidature.
These people would think that sentence 1 is not possible, but they wouldn't have a problem with sentence 3.
