ETS好像不怎麼喜歡being這個詞

我還是選C

guolulu526

有人选B吗?我怎么觉得C中: especially if it has worked well in the past.时态不对吧. 而且, 如果it indicates a couurse of action, 这也隔得太远了吧.

小声地问一句: B哪里不对了?

谢谢先

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

sofarsgood 把思路理得很清晰啊．

i think C is better, and it refers to 'a course of action'...

阿隆

c中has 与in the past 搭配好象不合适吧，C没有其他的问题。

E语法上说没有问题，但好像有点别扭。。我选了e

I have no idea about this question. Where are NN's?

Answer B is right.

The structure of the sentence is "An executive......, makes missing signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear.

"missing signs" is parallel to "misinterpreting ones".

"They" refers to signs or ones.

"likely" is adj in the structure of "make noun adj"

支持shichangh,我选B：因为只有B的句子结构是完整的。

"likely" is adj in the structure of "make noun adj"

说说我对B的意见：make的正确用法中没有make+doing，一般都是make sth. sth或者make sth. adj.。这里的doing应该不是动名词，而是分词，退一步说likely可以当adj，变成make sth. adj形式，trouble也不可能是adj.所以B不对

我选C，只有C才正确使用miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble，其他的选想都是miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them，在两个动词带的宾语一致时，不把两个动词并列，带同一宾语，而是在后一个动词用代词them(ones）代替，很罗嗦。当然还有其他原因支持我选C，不过其他人都已说过。

请大家指正。
