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.

1. 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.

3. 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.
   
4. 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.
   
5. 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.

我还是觉得C对。

关于C中it的指代问题：

it之前有三个名词：executive，a course of action 和signals,这三个中只有a course of action 能用it指代，所以即使it离的再远，它也是只能指代a course of action.这是一种强制指代吧。

E中Being heavily committed to a course of action，接下来主语应该是executive才对，而在E中Being heavily committed to a course of action却变成了句子的主语，结构变成了Being done something is ......这在GMAT中好像是不提倡的。

comments pls

闲云漫舞

同意楼上MM，差不多说了全部我想说的。仔细分析其实E很混乱，主语都没有，且后半句累赘重复。

up C

UP一下，楼上mm说的不错，但是对于这2个的解释实在不能让偶很信服,我犹豫了半天还是选了E

请NN出来再指教,谢谢

Answer: C.

    'it'  refers to 'course of action'.

B. 简化以下句子结构便明显了。

     An executive (去掉所有修饰语 who..., in the past) makes ... or misinterpreting ...

     看 makes  和 misinterpreting 并列了。不对吧

     另，makes missing signs trouble 表达的方法也不对，troublesome 还有可能，trouble 可是 n.

E. 1) being 用法不对

     2) has .... in the past  时态不相符

      3) ... is likely to make ....  我怎么没发现主语在哪？

       当 Being .... 做主语时，being 需要其自己的的主语, 而整个 Being ....中

       没有点明是谁发出了Being .... 动作。错误大了。

再问A的错误是什么?

应该是C，不过，我觉得IT是指EXECUTIVE。。。

流沙

同意选c。代词指代谁，首先是要根据逻辑意思判断的，c中的it只能是a course of action 。

我对语法分析不在行，但是a读起来真的很怪呀，it很难找到指代对象，而且句子没主语吧

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.

(A) is wrong??? is it because the "it" can both refer to "heavy commitment" and " a course of action"

please confirm my understanding...thank you~~~~~~

矮子中选高个了，只有E没有明显错误，虽然看者不象
