That
Hi,
It's from the BBC web site: "It's a photograph of a tense moment, yet more than that it includes the big
names of the US government all focused on the moment."
My question is: Does the pronoun 'that' mean 'a tense moment' here?
Thank you.

The sentence is grammatically vague. Your interpretation is certainly a possibility.

AnonymousDoes the pronoun 'that' mean 'a tense moment' here?When I read the sentence, I don't take "that" so specifically. I think of "more than that" as a fixed expression meaning something like "in addition", "moreover", or "besides", in which "that" refers very generally to all the information stated up to that point.
