og12 对于语法的原则是不是变了?

                  这是og12-q101(676页)的语法题:

       Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.(句子全部划线)

A . Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

B. An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that worked well in the past, makes missing signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear.

C. An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action is likely to miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past.

D. Executives’ being heavily committed to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes them likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them when they do appear.

E. Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

     很出乎意料,本题选E.而我们知道,being在句首引导句子必错,这是多年来gmat考试的原则,但在og12官方给出的答案就是E.这是否说明这一原则已经改变了?

Being可能是比较容易被不合适的使用，但是也不是放在句首必错。

这里being committed是一个动词词组的分词形式，表示一种特质。这个句子表示一种特质或者行为很容易导致某种结果。比如，我们还可以说: Eating too much is likely to make people fat.这里的being committed和eating too much本质上是一样的。

看句意，不能太执着于“规则”

选项E，是有点啰嗦，但是，前面的4个选项问题更大，比下来还是E好

请问B为什么错啊，12版的解释是说The sentence structure indicates that the executive, not his or her strategy, causes signs to be overlooked;the modifier when they do appear is misplaced.

我不大看的懂，没明白这句话到底是说什么。

请nn们赐教~

it 与要指代的词相隔太远

我自己总结OG12中有类似问题的有题：101 105 107 121，都是修饰词与被修饰词间隔太远，中间插入太多东西。
