in the Wall Street Journal ("The insurance industry is expected to escape serious financial harm") was not

最后一句“to the people whose property it was ” it was 后究竟省略了什么？

最后一句“to the people whose property it was ” it was 后究竟省略了什么？

在 it was 之后没有省略任何成分。was 的表语就是前面的 whose property（whose property = the people's property）。即：it was the people's property（完整的主系表结构）。
