prep 23

23. Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package even if they find a new job before they are terminated.

A. the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package

B. the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for the automobile company's severance package

C. their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to workers

D. their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

E. the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

A: workers比较对象不对等

B: 同上

C: 同上

D: correct

E: 从原题题干来看，scheduled是用来修饰day而不是workers；此外the last day 用in which要比that定语从句好

看了以前的讨论，有一个问题似乎大家都没有注意，D里面的their会不会引起歧义呢？我第一眼看到D的时候就因为觉得their是指代它前面的最近的名词workers而把D给排除了。请问为什么这里不说D里的their是指代不清呢？

继续问～
