这个题目我觉得有问题,如果非要选一个我选择 C

C) is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement be signed by them with a provision for penalties if the deal were

但是C选项中the deal 后面跟were我实在不明白怎么能用复数动词

them指代的应该是investors

 

A)is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were

我认为不对, is signed that includes a provision for ,that从句应该是修饰agreement,但是在A选项中中间隔了is signed,这不符合定语从句要紧跟在修饰对象后的原则

 

这是我的拙见,请其他高人指点,这个题目我也困惑很久,我觉得选项似乎都有错误,如果非要选择一个,我选择C

用were是不是表虚拟语气阿

C中with a provision for penalties修饰a merger agreement,隔的太远,不好。them指代也太远,不明。
So I prefer A.
虚拟语气应该用were,虽然有时也可用was,但were比较prefered.

A里面if后面是虚拟,前面可以不用虚拟么?

Explaination of Bob from TM:

Here I quote:

The OA
is wrong. In contemporary English we do not use the subjunctive in a
clause beginning with "until." True, in French one would use the
subjunctive after "jusqu'a' ce que," and in Italian one would use the
subjunctive after "finche'," but in English we use the subjunctive only
in clauses of recommendation, requirement, and request, and only in
clauses introduced by "that."

    

The correct response is A.

    

What is the source of this item? Who came up with this "OA"? I can't
imagine any native speaker of modern English ever using "be" after
"until."
