it指代

应该是选d吧？

C

miss or misinterpret 动作发出者应该是An executive ，故A错

真没想到,这题答案居然是E.

C is wrong because "miss or misinterpret signs... when they do appear" does not make sense -- either they miss the signs or they misinterpret them when they do appear. Has to be: "miss signs... or misinterpret them when they do appear." Another problem with C is the ambiguous pronoun reference in: "if it has worked well in the past." "It" is meant to refer to "course of action," but in C could just as easily be felt to refer to "incipient trouble."

D has several problems. "Executives' being heavily committed" is an awkward subject. The pronoun in "makes them likely" is referring to a noun that is in the possessive case. The gerund "misinterpreting" does not parallel the infinitive "to miss."

到底是哪个答案啊？请大牛指教！

本来想选C的

看看还是E对啊，真是想不到GMAC最不偏爱的being居然可以做主语

楼上语感太牛了，只有C，

正确地使用了miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble

其它选项是miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret + 代词

make的用法，我只记得make sth. adj ； make it that/to do

反正make往往是多余的第三者

回五楼的，800bob, He's not from GMAC either, so... I prefer C
