The forts of the dynasty were so marvelously constructed that the enthusiasts of architectural studies on their visits to the dynasty's ruling centers found it hard to leave the premises of the monuments.

What role is the 'it' playing in this case or what does it refer to?
So, the question we should be asking is: the enthusiasts...found what hard?

Answer: to leave the premises of the monuments.

So, "it" refers to the infinitive phrase "to leave the premises of the monuments".

p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses this usage of "it", its application and examples in significant detail. If you or someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.

Hi there Archit3110, the above doubt stemmed from an example given in Expert global's SC study material. As I'm new to the club so cannot attach the picture however I can confirm that the sentence in the example has no commas.

Thank you

Consider going through this question. Kind of shows how the word IT can potentially be used on the GMAT.

How to get a V40 or higher on the GMAT? What about a V51?
