Hello Guys,
Recently, I was reading an Economist Article when I came to the following paragraph in it:
Barack Obama's policy in Syria-to wish that Mr Assad would go, without willing the means to get him out-has been wretched. Mr.Assad, it seems, will Outlast Mr.Obama. But the war will not end. Indeed, it has taken a turn for the worse.
I never found the logical Antecedent for the underlined "it". If someone can explain me it's presence in the sentence, I will really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Devansh

Hi Devlikes,
It is not just used as a pronoun. It can be used as a dummy/prop or as an anticipation for the future.
Here it is used as an anticipatory it. Just like :
"It is sometimes used to "anticipate" something which appears later in the same sentence:
It's great to see you
It's a pity you can't come to my party "
So you can replace your it with Mr. Assad will outstay Obama.

Hi Devansh,
If you're reading magazines to gain a better sense of grammar and style, then It's important to remember that many professional writers won't necessarily write in a 'style' that matches what you'll be tested on when you take the GMAT. To that end, sometimes the grammar and style in CR and RC passages doesn't actually match the style and grammar that you'll have to deal with when you answer SCs.
Can you define your 'goals' from reading these articles (as they pertain to your GMAT studies)?
