GMATPrep一道SC，有点疑惑，请大家帮忙

ABC很明显排除。DE的优劣如何判断呢？

rosmarine

晕，我的图片呢？我是用上传附件的方式。唉，算了，还是打出来吧。

Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package even if they find a new job before they are terminated.

A. the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package

B. the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for the automobile company's severance package

C. their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to workers

D. their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

E. the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

划线怎么也没了？我明明用了下划线的！！

划线部分是：the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package

rosmarine MM 挺乐的

是D吗?

rosmarine

是D。为什么E不对？D我一看until their last scheduled day这么笨拙的修饰就觉得不如E的until the last day好，怎么居然E是错的？

又是in order to。in order to collect主语是谁？collect什么？

jandjshi

E: require workers to stay until the last day that they are scheduled to collect

to collect 到底是根stay, 还是根are scheduled. 意思不一样哦.

根stay=员工要留到最后那天工作日(the last day that they are scheduled)才能拿补贴

根are scheduled=员工要留到拿补贴的最后那天(last day that they are scheduled to collect (severance packages))

D: require workers to stay until their last scheduled day in order to collect => 1) in order to 修饰to stay, 没歧义. 2) their last scheduled day 指workers的, 不是severance packages的, 没歧义

rosmarine

哦，collect package哦，明白了。那scheduled day什么意思呢？事先预定的拿补贴的日子？

以下是引用rosmarine在2006-4-6 14:18:00的发言：
哦，collect package哦，明白了。那scheduled day什么意思呢？事先预定的拿补贴的日子？

d的their last scheduled day是worker's last scheduled day = worker's last scheduled (work) day

shanexin

about E.

the last day that they are scheduled to collect

that做什么成分？

如果作schedule的宾语，那their scheduled day>the day that they are scheduled

如果做状语，那应该是the last day on which(when) they are scheduled
