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.

A.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

B.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

C.is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement be signed by themwith a provision for penalties if the deal were

D.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 (A)

E.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A 这个没问题
但是答案上口口声声说they和them无指代对象，但是我怎么觉得they指代的是前面的the potential investors呢？
谢谢各位解答~~

从句意理解they 和 them 不可能指potential investor

签署一份包括惩罚条约的合并协议。惩罚条约保障投资者的利益，应该是等银行同意这一条款，投资者才敢投钱

应该是指代the potential investors。

只是前面的are已经枪毙了E。

我不同意

我觉得你是从正确答案推了。。。

其实，答案也没告诉我们谁同意了。。只是说被签了。。。

they不是E的错误
