答案是E，怎么也想不明白。我搜了一下，网上以前对这题就有过讨论，包括新东方的老师都认为应该选C。但现在破解了，答案是E，没什么争得了，但有哪位牛人帮忙指点一下这是为什么？谢谢

不是什么牛牛，小菜鸟一个，看了题，谈谈自己的看法。当然既然答案已经出来了，很多也不必争论了。谈谈各个选项的错误点吧，

A:有一个it的指代问题，前面一个it指代不清,同时后一个it指代是后面的不定式，我们知道一个句子中代词指代同一个对象。所以a错。

B：同样有不定代词one的指代问题，one和ones有不同的指代对象，句子结构是a executive who。。。，插入语，makes。。。经理。。造成。。不合逻辑。其次这个插入语的修饰对象不明，还有一点是改变了句子的合理重心，executive由从句部分变成了主语，而commitment变成从属成分。

C：who定语从句改变了句子合理重心，

D：being是多余，makes them中的them无指代对象。

E：重心未改变，one 指代 course 清楚，整个句子表达清楚。

所以选E。自己的一点点浅薄的看法~

D中加一点，it指代所有格形式，错误

我是一个小菜鸟，想来求证一下....

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.

them和they都是指signs of incipient trbouble，miss和misinterpret是并列的吧
