Hey. It is my first time to post a question here. I am not sure if I violate the rules of Forum.
Although he played many memorable parts in his half-century career, it was "The Andy Griffith Show" and his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife that brought Don Knotts TV immortality and five Emmy awards.
A it was "The Andy Griffith Show" and his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife that brought Don Knotts TV immortality and five Emmy awards.
B、Don Knott's portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" brought him TV immortality and five Emmy awards.
C、Don Knotts earned TV immortality and five Emmy awards for his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show."
D、Don Knotts earned TV immortality and five Emmy awards based upon his portrayal on "The Andy Griffith Show" of the bumbling Deputy Barney Fife.
E、it was his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" that brought Don Knotts TV immortality and five Emmy awards.
According to the explanation, B is wrong because "he" in the non-underlined sentence can not refer to Don Knott as Don knott's portrayal is a possessive noun.
However, in the book "Manhattan SC". the sentence"Mary's job is in the jeopardy because of her mistakes." is correct. So I am confused that whether can I use a pronoun to refer to a possessive pronoun such as Don Knott's.
Also, like "A of B". can I use a pronoun to refer to B ?
Thanks a lot.
