我选的是C。 能指点下哪错了吗？谢谢

georgelhb

C是对的

eastld

答案是A。

我觉得C对，请赐教。

soul86

啊，我选的B

对A有疑问：1 make to 的用法正确吗，在GMAT里make sth sth ,make sth+adj.见的比较多

　　　　　 2 until a merger agreement is signed that , 这里面that 不出现修饰错误吗

　　　　　  　3   if the deal were,  　 the deal　不是单数吗？

gui8387

if the deal were,这个是虚拟语气拉。

A

感觉BCDE在单复数上有问题

要不然是it vs they/them

要不然是they vs it

只有A单复数统一

To 表示目的了~

C中的them指代不清，可以根据单复数判断它想指代的是potential investors，但文中并没有显示这个merger agreement是要potential investors签的。而且with结构放在them后面也引起歧义：是他们签的时候有个provision,还是这个agreement有个provision。

选A没有问题。但是我有个问题还是想问一下，这里...until a merger agreement is signed that includes...这个that指代agreement，可是为什么不是直接紧跟其后，加了个is signed对么？我觉得好奇怪啊。

能不能讲讲them怎么指代不清，这里面只有一个复数名词啊
