Is this sentence correct:
1-The monument was unveiled earlier Thursday despite efforts by certain officials to stop it.
If it is, then the "it" replaces "the unveiling of the monument", does it not?
Could one say:
2-John was wounded in spite of my efforts to prevent it.
or
3-John was wounded in spite of my efforts to prevent that.
or
4-John was wounded in spite of my efforts to prevent him.
