@清飞扬：

我感觉你划掉的那句话是这道题很重要的一个出题点，也是OG想考的一点，代词的指代问题。

course of action is likely to miss or misinterpret
signs of incipient trouble when they do appear,

这道题是2个月前做的，今天再看，我不会这么解释。

这道题，在曼哈顿网站里RON有具体的解释，确实突破点主要是代词+idiom(likely的使用）

可是最后选E用being的原因，皆在于error > wordy。 being存在仅仅是wordy不是error，你可以用他，但是必须最后用他。我记得曼哈顿书里说过一句话：you should notice this partten, but you can't fall in love with it. 永远把concise放在最后考虑

A。有错：RON解释说Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action这个说法有一种native speaker才能看出来的awkward，如果我把by an executive 先不看的话，是heavy commitment to a course of action. 因为根据意思to a course of action是修饰heavy commitment的，而不是by an executive的。根据目前在讨论的那张帖子，我根据曼哈顿书里的那个to do 结构不能修饰没有生命性名词表示目的的说法，这种表达是错误的：帖子见此：http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-596729-1-1.html

此外：make it likely to do sth, 这个结构根据RON说表达不对，因为虽然有make it adj to do sth的说法，可是这个it是作为it reference指代后面的to do sth的，（见曼哈顿SC书P231)  ; 但是这里用likely做ADJ来表达就有问题了；likely的表达一般是：be likely to do sth，be likely that svo 所以这种make it likely to do的用法不对

B。 likely用法也错误---这个是错误，error，不是preference/wordy的问题；还有ones用法错应该是them；one是indefinite的指代，them是definite指代。根据曼哈顿的one解释，可以说：某人吃了很多巧克力中的某一块的时候，应该用one,而不是it，因为是某一块；当说这块味道如何的时候应该用it来指代这个one所表达的某一块。这个it就特定指代这个某一块；所以这里的ones毫无意义，这里是特定指代，指代when they do appear的那些signals

C. if it has worked well in the past中的it指代有问题，it可以指代a course of action，同时也能够指代：incipient trouble ；不要以it不能指代介词中宾语为理由，认为it应该只能指代a course of action； 在C这个句子中committed to a course of action, 这个to是介词，因为TO+N，这个to是做介词用的，所以a course of action就是宾语了，所以既然两个都是宾语，IT指代就有问题了，属于有多个先行词的错误指代情况

D. makes them likely to 这个them用法错误, 不是idiom的用法，没有听到过make them adj to do sth的说法。此外makes them likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them when they do appear. 代词指代容易有连贯性，一连窜的them容易指代同一个先行词，那么make them中的them更加有问题

E。有being的wordy问题，但是没有语法错误，指代，idiom表达都对

这道题，说真的，我盯着他看已经不下20遍了，总算有一次是我自己能用语法来说服自己的了

谢谢飞扬~~~~

谢谢飞扬。真是很认真。
关于E中being的使用。Ron的回答很清楚。在这里，being不是个修饰语，是个动名词。在这个句子中， "being committed" 就是句子的主语。
