Outlininghis strategy for nursing the troubledconglomerate back to health, the chief executive'splanswere announced on Wednesday for cutting thecompany's huge debt bvselling nearly$12 billion inassets over the next 18 months.

(A)executive's plans were announced on Wednesday for cutting the company's hugedebt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months

(B)executive's plans, which are to cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly$12billion in assets over the next 18 months, were announced on Wednesday

(C)executive's plans for cutting the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12billion in assets over the next 18 months were announced on Wednesday

(D)executive announced plans Wednesday to cut the company's huge debt by sellingnearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months

(E) executive announced plans Wednesday that areto cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over thenext 18 months

纠结在D和E选项。
解释说E错，因为用that，让人觉得plan就是 cut debt和sell assets。
恰恰我就是这样想的，我觉得E是说plan是 cut debt，实现这个cut debt的方法是 sell assets，挺好。不需要to cut 表目的吧？

我感觉这道题应该是to cut 表目的 来修饰announce plan. 而后面by selling nearly...才是对plan内容的解释 ...

我的理解是，manhattan里面有讲到to do 的语法点的动作发出者，通常，to do 表目的状语的时候，那么动作发出者是主语.
所以，plans that are to do 的逻辑发出者是 plans。 这里plan 是无法发出这个动作，所以E 的解释才这样说 suggests that themselves are doing the cutting and selling .  

OG 13,13 题这里的，the method is to do  不是一个表目的的状语，而是与前句保持平行的一种形式。there are several ways to build solid。

open to discussion.

E) executive announced plans Wednesday that are to cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12billion in assets over the next 18 months
This suggests that the plans will cut the debt, when it's the executive who will cut the debt.
Eliminate E.

谁知道为什么D，E选项Wednesday前面没有on啊？？？

回复9楼关于on的问题
引自国外论坛的解析：The use of the word "Wednesday" without "on" is similar to the use of "today" or "yesterday." Also if there were "on", it would suggest that the plans concern Wednesday and not that they are announced on Wednesday.

我感觉这道题应该是to cut 表目的 来修饰announce plan. 而后面by selling nearly...才是对plan内容的解释，如果用that are to就直接修饰plan了。
这道题可以跟OG13 SC13做比较，按理来说 method本身也是不能发出动作的，但还是用了类似的表达method is to form the mud or clay...这里就是对method直接做的一个解释。

不知道这样理解对不对？

非常巧，刚看到一个帖子回答了我的问题，贴上供同样不解的CDers参考。刚刚看了一个RON的解释。结合babybear ...

谢谢，我之前没有仔细想这道题的for doing 和 to do的深意。看到你的解释一目了然，这么说确实是这样子的，to do强调是的 to do这个动作表示目的。而for doing强调是前面的事情，for doing应该是原因。至于别的to do 的含义，我没有遇到，所以也没有仔细想想。看你看OG如此的详细，有点启发。谢谢

我开始也纠结于小语法点，wednesday，有答案吗？

barrymachine

排除E我还有一个点： 因为wednesday没有介词on了，that不好跳跃修饰，搞得好像是在就近修饰wednesday。
这点比较白，不知道正确否?

Wednesday这里是做adverb,所以That不可能修饰Wednesday......
