虚拟语气。。。

谢了顾大侠。应该用一般现在时，但使用了过去时，只有虚拟语气解释的通了。

A should be the answer.

C)is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement be signed by them with a provision for penalties if the deal were

C is wrong b/c the word "them" is a confusing term here, and shouldn't be used.

对，这题A是正确答案。。。

谢谢两位指教。

C)中的THEM只能指代 Investors吧？有歧义吗？

MayFair

A）中的THAT离被修饰的 AGREEMENT太远了吧？
