GWD No2 verbal第3题求解

风林火山

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

GWD的答案是C，我模考选的是B。请教各位大牛，C中a merger agreement be signed by them with a provision for penalties if the deal were 这个难道是虚拟语气嘛，为什么这么选啊？谢谢！

这是天山的题吧？Prep1-217确认答案A 个人的拙见是：If 后面是虚拟 语义上表示虚拟 if从句是可以单独表示虚拟的 比如这道题就是 而且之前的部分（C中be出现的部分）是与之前联系在一起的所以were 同时说明 C中的be没必要 况且them没有指代对象

 我也觉得选A...最快方法是   首先排除D，E 复数不对，接下来排除B offer to 为习惯搭配...  C中them指代不明...

这么说GWD里的标准答案很多是错的了.
