Rhetorical construction; Logical predication
Th is sentence explains that an executive who is blindly committed to a proven course of action is likely to overlook or misinterpret indicators that the plan may no longer be working. Th e sentence needs to make clear who may misinterpret these indicators.
A The passive construction causes the sentence to be wordy and confusing; the reference for it is ambiguous, leaving the reader with questions about who or what is likely to miss these signs.
B The sentence structure indicates that the executive , not his or her strategy, causes signs to be overlooked; the modifier when they do appear is misplaced.
C The reference for the pronoun it is unclear because many nouns have intervened between the appearance of the logical referent ( course of action ) and it .
D Misinterpreting should be an infi nitive verb form to parallel miss ; the phrasing throughout the sentence is wordy and awkward.
E Correct. The grammatical structure of this sentence and the appropriate placement of modifi ers expresses the meaning clearly and concisely.
