有NN解释如下：原贴见http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=66883&page=2在6楼

这里CEO's是CEO的复数表达，不是所有格.

在某些首字母缩略的单词里，其复数形式可以加上s或's. 如:

VIP(Very important person), VIP's, VIPs

我从未见过这样的解释，请问是这个原因吗，因为原题中的CEO’s应该是作主语呢？？？？？

谢谢rhod！谢谢流沙！

我在RC的文章中已明确地看到了“...cheif executive officers（CEO’s）...”。大家在GMAT的文章里可以找到的。今天上来想自己回复一下的，一看rhod、流沙已讨论过了。

这个问题只是自己阅读时觉得有些不顺，但对做这道sc来说是无关紧要的。
