OG-100:

Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
(A) Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
(B) An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that worked well in the past, makes missing signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear.
(C) Anexecutive who is heavily committed to a course of action is likely to miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past.
(D) Executives' being heavily committed to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes them likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them when they do appear.
(E) Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

OG Explanation:

Rhetorical construction; Logical predication
This sentence explains that an executive who is blindlycommitted to a proven course of action is likely to overlook or misinterpret indicators that the plan mayno longerbe working. The sentence needs to make clear who may misinterpret these indicators.
(A) The passive construction causes the sentence to be wordyand confusing; the reference for it is ambiguous, leaving the reader with questions aboutwho or what is likely to miss these signs.
(B) The sentence structure indicates that the executive, not his or her strategy, causes signs to be overlooked; the modifier when they doappear is misplaced.
(C) The reference for the pronoun it is unclear becausemany nouns have intervened between the appearance of the logical referent {course ofaction) and it.
(D) Misinterpreting shouldbe an infinitive verb form to parallel miss; the phrasing throughout the sentenceis wordy and awkward.
(E) Correct. The grammatical structure of this sentenceand the appropriate placement of modifiers expresses the meaning clearly and concisely.
The correct answer is E.

C中it虽然离被指代词a course of action稍远了点，但是在其间出现的名词signs是复数，所以应该不会有指示模糊的问题吧？
虽然觉得E没有语法错误，但还内心抵抗。。。

实在好困，没看OG 解释，发的是我自己的思路：
全划线题而且那么长！找SVO。
（A）Heavy commitement makes it to ... 代词指代各种多，IT和THEM的指代。关键：especially if it has worked well in the past 到底IT指代Heavy commitement 还是a course of action?
后面一个it（makes it likely）说明不是commitement，不然就是itself了。问题是make the course of action to miss signs ?? 错
（B）An executive makes missing signs. 主动语态看起来舒服多了，但是make 的用法不对！错
（C）An executive is likely to miss or misinterpret signs. 似乎没错，但是看后面.....when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past.各种代词各种乱，基本也是错
（D）Executives' being heavily committed to a course of action makes them... 代词them指什么？？错
（E）Being （心里一抖，但是OG13说了，being不一定错）heavily committed to a course of action is likely to make an executive miss signs. 基本对了！再看代词one＝Being heavily committed to a course of action；them=signs of incipient trouble，语义都对。

C选项没有歧义，只是太远

C选项，在之前的帖子上看到过，说的是： Anexecutive who is heavily committed to a course of action is likely to miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past.
miss了signs of incipient trouble,怎么后面又when they appear? when they do appear,注意看其他选项，是修饰misinterpret的，不是修饰miss和misinterpret。。。

C选项前句没有问题,错在后句it的指代不清因该是.
