Q3:

Not one of the potential investors is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded.

 

1. is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were
2. is expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal was
3. 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

4. are expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until it signs a merger agreement with a provision for penalties included if the deal was
5. are expected to be making an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal were

答案是C，虽然我认为C是比其他好，但agreement be signed中为什么用原形BE呢？

实在想不通，望大虾赐教！

因为它用了虚拟语气.你看后面的if
        the
        deal
        were也是虚拟语气.这两处是对应的.

想问问A错哪里的。。。

if条件句中主谓不一致。

one of 加复数不是应该接are的吗？？？

52element

原来这里WERE是虚拟语气阿，我还以为是单复数不一致。。。。

对于什么时候是条件，什么时候是虚拟语气还是不是很有把握。。。

说实在的这句话主要就是根据后面那个were判断应该使用虚拟语气，但C里面的by them真没什么必要。

umm....好像不是吧...if X were to..., Y would/could/might...才對吧...
sigh...怪題
個人比較傾向A
TN版上給的answer is A not C.

顶一下，希望有人来解答一下。

我的意见：

B，D 因为在句子中使用for doing 表示目的 不如 to do 结构好。排除。、

E  为什么不对？？ 是因为 are expected to be .....吗？ 为什么？

C 的动词原形Be 是为什么呢？

Answer: C

我选了A的，因为看着C 里的 by them 不顺眼,觉得可能有指代不清的嫌疑。

但是觉得A 里的 is signed that 这里的that 的位置有些奇怪。

考古了以前的帖子好像都没有确定的说法。

哪位NN指导一下

选A吧。

A: 正确。LZ可能觉得这里的that不好。这里的that没有问题。之所以放到后面是因为这个定语从句过长，如果按照正常语序的话就是until a merger agreement that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded is signed。会造成句子的不平衡。所以放到后面，OG里也有类似的题目，不过一下想不起来了，以后找到补上。

B：for buying不是优选。they指代不清，was不对，虚拟语气应该用were。

C: them指代不清。另外be signed 我觉得不舒服，谁知道问什么不对告诉我。

D :are不对，主语是one；for不好，it指代不清;was不对。

E :are不对，主语是one；they指代不清
