GWD Set 12 T19

WONDERLAND2004

前人给的答案是C，但是觉得这题应该选e才对。C的it指代不清。e德对应关系很清楚。请大家讨论。谢谢。

Q19:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ：" especially one that has worked well in the past" 中的one指代不清，可以指An executive  也可以指a course of action

我也觉得C的it 指代不清..
不过,ADE一定错,要是在OG里,大概会被说awkward(OG动不动就说awkward)
E中的subject term, 要是为one… ambiguous

B) An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that worked well in the past,
这里的one,我认为是指An executive
但是or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear…. 後半段应该是错的

该选哪个好呀??!

perpetual

c 中的it指代 a course of action, 我觉得只有这样理解了。 请指教。

这道题大家都认为是C么？especially one that has worked well 和a course of action相隔十万八千里怎么能对呢？读完C能immediately clear it 的referent 么？E的being ~形式虽然有点不像答案，但是总比C强，而且在意思上强调状态是agent也没有问题。

请再讨论！

E is incorrect because the initial part of the sentence "being heavily....."is not parellel with the part after "is like","to make an executive..."

以下是引用bachordersee在2004-7-20 23:17:00的发言：
E ：" especially one that has worked well in the past" 中的one指代不清，可以指An executive  也可以指a course of action

这题偶选E，"one..."从句紧跟在"being heavily.... to a course of action"后面，one 是指代 a course of action。 C中明显的错误是"especially if ti has workd well in the past"离它要修饰的词距离太远， 如philikittist MM说得那样。

老大们啊，到底是那个阿，这道题仁者见仁智者见智，争论不休，通过我得仔细研究----这不是写issue嘛。

我也选的事e----刚开始的时候。

现在觉得c还是比e豪，e中的being 用得不好，另外这道题强调的是人，还有，用especially,后面是不是应该用the one 好一些呢？

继续讨论
