If I see an article advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it is good value.

What does the word "it" refer to? Is the word "it" a "dummy subject"?

  • "It" is a dummy pronoun referring to the preceding noun phrase "an article advertised". We understand that the advertising of an article is the surest proof ... – BillJ Nov 16 '17 at 16:47
  • "it is the surest proof" can be likewise rephrased to "that is the surest proof" – SovereignSun Nov 16 '17 at 17:00
