og12对于语法的原则性规定是否改变了?

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. An executive 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.

     很出乎意料,本题选E.而我们知道,being在句首引导句子必错,这是多年来gmat考试的原则,但在og12官方给出的答案就是E.这是否说明这一原则已经改变了?

我同意dimitripanch的看法。

仔细分析就会发现，being作为一个主语短语存在，being……is likely to make...

如果说是“being……, executives...”，那么这样的句子还是错的。
