Certain names have become synonymous with mystery,and Amelia Earhart is a prime example

"Certain names have become synonymous with mystery,and Amelia Earhart is a prime example. Her goal of flying around the globe at the equator held the world’s attention, but her disappearance intrigued it even more."

對這段話目前的理解:
"某些名字已成為了神秘事件的代名詞,Amelia Earhart就是一個最出名的例子. 她駕機機延著赤道繞地球一圈的行動吸引了大家的目光,但她的失蹤夠確更加讓人注目."

原句中快結尾的"it"是什麼東西的代名詞?

根據友人的指導,這個"it"因該是指"Her goal of flying around the globe at the equator". 不過我還是有點疑問,因為我覺得"intrigued"在這邊是動詞,而"it"在這邊為何不是動詞的受詞,
例如 "Fairy - tales intrigue most children . 大多數孩子都十分喜愛神話故事"

most children接在intrigue之後


如果這句話把"it"拿掉請我填空,我可能會寫成這樣

"Certain names have become synonymous with mystery,and Amelia Earhart is a prime example. Her goal of flying around the globe at the equator held the world’s attention, but her disappearance intrigued people even more."
