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.
   
2. 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.
   
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.

说一下我的解题步骤：

A、heavy commitment by sb. to sth.：awkward；miss和misinterpret没有逻辑主语；miss sth. or misinterpret sth. when they do appear，when从句修饰对象不清，修饰misinterpret或miss or misinterpret。

B、one优先指代an executive；make sth. doing sth. or doing sth. likely，unidiomatic，注：前面有人说过make sth. adj.是正确的结构，我承认，但这里missing signs和misinterpreting ones是动宾结构，而非名词性短语，因而不能当作sth.处理，所以错；ones不如them；和A一样的歧义。

C、正确。it的指代问题：首先，it不可能指代an executive，因为是人；其次，a course of action和signs都是宾语，同一级别，而incipient trouble是signs的补充说明（个人认为是补语，不确定），级别比前两者低，因此it优先指代a course of action。除此之外，miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear结构没有A那样的歧义。

D、them不可指代executives；和A一样的歧义。

E、being ... is likely to make sb. do结构不好，没有指出being的逻辑主语；和A一样的歧义。

大家讨论

我觉得主语就是being.....，especially  xxx是插入语，修饰前面的a course of action，后面的is ....就是谓语和宾语了。

这里的being结构不是做状语的，所以being不能省略。OG大部分是不喜欢being结构做状语，认为being是多余。但是这题不一样啊。

我觉得的。

顶一下，支持 E ，逻辑清楚，代词指代无误。虽然用词不是最好，但满足了前两个priority.

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

同意C

E,being heavily......,没有逻辑主语？？

E .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.

本来也选E，现在发现E不对，因为being heailiy committed to..的动作发出者和主句谓语is应该有的动作发出者不一致，也就是逻辑搭配不匹配，所以肯定错。

支持E.  

E中的"especially one that worked well in the past" 指代"a course of action"比C中的"especially if it has worked well in the past",位置好,指代清楚.C中的"especially if it has worked well in the past"放到从句中有点主句已说完了,多余的感觉.这是因为这种以前有效的措施只是一种特例especially one that..., 而不是一个条件,所以主从句中这种条件关系有些勉强.

E 肯定不对。

1。make有“迫使，逼迫“的意思，原句中没有这个意思。

2、大家看看如果把

   E：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

      E'：Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, an executive is likely to miss signs of incipient or misinterpret them when they do appear

那还差不多
