Practice Exam Question

by InesT136 Mon Jan 28, 2019 7:15 pm

In their latest press release, the company's new management stated a plan for expansion of its operations into the global software market via a series of acquisitions in Asia and Latin America.

A) the company's new management stated a plan for expansion of its operations

B) the new company's management stated that they planned on expanding its operations

C) the company's new managers stated their plan to expand its operations

D) the new company managers stated their plan for its operations, expanding

E) the company's new management stated that they planned to expand its operations

Above is one of the sentence correction questions I had on a practice exam, where "C" was the correct answer, but wouldn't "its" in "its operations" need an antecedent, which can't be "company's" because it is in the possessive form?
