选E,并且,解释是E项中的it 优先指代it, 我的问题是it 为什么优先指代it? 不应该是根据就近原则指代Convention吗?

to simply the sentence:
When Elizath drafted the declaration, she included in it a call.
the convention is under the "that...in 1848" clause which also modifies the declaration.
therefore, it must refer to declaration.
clear?

近原则指代 only applies to "which/when/how/what/..." clause and ",.....," phrase within the main sentence.

the "WHEN" here is a conjuntion, 2 main clauses here are parallel.

example:
When I buy a book which talks about funny stories, she also buy it.
it won't be referring "stories" here, will it?

貌似C有歧义吧,也可能是指convention,并且原文强调了author一词,C里没有写明动作的发出者是谁,还是被动,所以相比之下E里面有she,也一定程度上会削弱歧义吧,个人理解
