I'm confused with this sentence. I am not sure to explain it to my students. Please help me, teachers. "A container had a line with a number beside it for every hour." In this sentence, "it" refers to "a container" or "a line". I think it refers to a line, but one of my students suggested a container. He explained that "beside it for every hour" is the adverbs, and so it refers to a container. Can you explain it to me? What does it refer to? I appreciate your kind help.
