  • If the revolution ended after the death of Ji Tai, how can it (something which no longer exists) have been taken over by Pol Zara? Many things are wrong with this sentence, not least of all the parenthetical use of Pol Zara which is actually essential to the sentence.

    But what did Ji Tai lead? The revolution or the government? The quote says "the leader".
