OG12 SC101 求助

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.


(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.


这个C选项OG解释说" The reference for the pronoun it is unclear because many nouns have intervened between the appearance of the logical reference (course of action) and it" 可是在course of action和it之间的名词只有sings of incipient trouble吧？何况此sings为复数，根据就近指代的原则，不是恰好指代course of action么？为什么OG说指代不清晰呢？请大牛帮忙，谢谢！

正准备同求。。。刚想了下，好像是这样的：因为前面有they指代miss or misinterpret
signs of incipient ，同一个句子后面在出现的代词应该指代的是同一个。。那it单数形式，会变成指代sign了。。个人看法。。。

这个句子,关键是判断出make SB do sth的结构,如果这么写,大家谁都看得懂了,GMAC变态放在中间写的
An executive  is heavily committed to a course of action,.....,which is likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear
