就是我说的呀，OG的意思是此处用as表达的是与xx相同的意思，但事实上此处应为因果关系。

og里指出 that和is 的错误，
我也觉的在语法上是对的。
但是这里和 a的错误一样， explained as 我认为替 ...

“Like (A), this version of the sentence equates the similarity of artifacts
with the movement of people, when a causal connection is what is intended”这是OG里对C的解释，该如何理解呢？这个你能理解么？

我很想问下C，THAT 引导了一个主语从句，所以is是对的呀，that引导的主语从句表示一个事，这个事被解释为后 ...

(C) That Thule artifacts are remarkably similar throughout a vast region is,
in part, explainable as
此处主要是explainable as的问题，短语使用不当。be explainable as 的意思里有与什么相同的意思，此处应为因果关系。可用其他词代替，比如be explained by，或者改成D,更加清楚。

此种语义细节的辨析还是需要细致体会的。

但是这里和 a的错误一样， explained as 我认为替换成explained by更好表达两者的；联系

1.我也有很多疑问 为什么OG上对A的解释是 相似是迁移的结果   这与 相似是迁移 有什么区别吗？
2.关于B选项 ...

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.

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.

除了这道其他being都是错的， 因为og 的解释是wordy
A
我个人的看法是 explained as 有逻辑错误。
explained by 比较好理解，有因果关系

我很想问下C，THAT 引导了一个主语从句，所以is是对的呀，that引导的主语从句表示一个事，这个事被解释为后面的内容，怎么不对了呢？避免了A中similarity 与 movement 错。
