assure        保证        同义词：guarantee

这是历尽艰苦奋战才得到的成功，即使如此，也不表示美国运通公司必能在营业额达5620亿美金的信用卡业务中如愿重登龙头宝座。美国运通公司与1989年失去这项宝座。
--------------------------------------------
这个词的例句中的这部分 it lost in 1989 in the $562 billion credit-card industry.想问下这是定语从句吗，如果是先行词是谁？我觉得应该加上先行词that。

JocelynQin

啊十分抱歉，刚才提出的那个问题我突然看明白了，it lost部分是用来修饰top standing 的定语从句，关系代词在从句中做宾语所以省略了
