The Gorton-Dodd bill requires that a bank disclose to their customers how long they will delay access to funds from deposited checks. (A) that a bank disclose to their customers how long they will delay access to funds from deposited checks (B) a bank to disclose to their customers how long they will delay access to funds from a deposited check (C) that a bank disclose to its customers how long it will delay access to funds from deposited checks (D) a bank that it should disclose to its customers how long it will delay access to funds from a depos-ited check (E) that banks disclose to customers how long access to funds from their deposited check is to be delayed
答案是C。但是我认为答案C应该也有毛病，就是这里的it有指代不清之嫌，它可以指代a bank,也可以指代The Gorton-Dodd bill。难道老美认为只有银行才能对客户做出规定？但实际上非常可能银行向客户宣布的规定很多都是由政府法规要求制定并要求银行向客户公告的，所以说the Gorton-Dodd bill will delay access to ...也说得通啊，不就有歧义了嘛？而E用的被动态就能没有这个问题，但是OG却又认为这里用被动态会使施动者指示不清。请哪位高手指点一下？
一般是根据a选项中判断的原文的意思。a选项中讲到that a bank disclose to their customers how long they will delay access to funds from deposited checks.这里的they虽然指代错误，但还是应该指银行，所以这里包含的信息就是bank delay access。任何对原文信息的添加或者删除，都是不适宜的。e选项中access to be delayed，但是没有说明delay这个动作的发出者，所以遗漏了原来的信息，不好
Choice C is best. In A and B, the plural pronouns their and they do not agree with the singular noun bank. B, like D and E, illogically shifts from the plural customers and funds to the singular check, as if the customers were jointly depositing only one check. In D, requires a bank that it should is ungrammatical; requires that a bank is the appropriate idiom. In E, the use of the passive construction is to be delayed is less informative than the active voice because the passive does not explicitly identify the bank as the agent responsible for the delay.
