好认真啊~~~真好啊~~~饭饭来学习~~

分析的太透彻了，但是在这里还有一个问题，这里commit的用法是什么呢？为什么一定要用being committed呢？感觉GMAT里一般对于被动语态的描述都是wordy and weak。
此外，OG对于B选项的错误有一个点是从when的修饰位置上来说的，这一点我不是很明白。
求指点！

谢谢飞扬兄台的分享啊~资料真好~赞一个先~
但有些还是不是很明白呀~求点拨~

1、if you are implying that pronouns automatically stand for whichever noun is closest to them, that is very, very wrong.

if the pronoun has multiple possible antecedents, a much more important factor is whether the pronoun is parallel to the intended noun.
for instance, if a pronoun serves as the subject of its clause, and there are two possible antecedents -- one that is the subject of its own clause, and one that is not -- then the pronoun will generally be taken to stand for the former, even if the former is much farther away.代词平行原则

代词平行指代这个名词的意思我就昏昏的，是指在考虑代词指代的时候看这个代词在它的句子中是做主语，还是做宾语的，然后对应看看前面的主语或宾语或者考虑，而不是看最近的指代。
而如果前面有多个可以指代的符合了上面的一条原则，就是对应指代了。但是还是有几个可选的词，按照单复数排除。如果还不能排除只剩唯一一个，那就是代词指代歧义了。

2、'it' is ambiguous and lacks a clear antecedent, because it could potentially refer either to 'course of action' (the intended antecedent) or to 'incipient trouble'.The nearest preceding singular noun is trouble, but the desired antecedent is course of action, which is placed too far from it. Eliminate C.

also note that grammatical parallelism doesn't help: both of those possible antecedents are objects of prepositions - neither is the subject of its own clause(which would thereby create parallelism with 'it', which is the subject of its clause).

这个是说什么平行不适用呀，看的有点迷糊，我觉得我跟上面的那个代词平行指代有点搞不清谁和谁了~能不能举个例子？

谢谢~O(∩_∩)O

我去查了一下，有个固定的表达是“be committed to”表示决心做某事。
但是B选项when修饰位置上的错误我也很疑惑~求解答呀~

example:
the small vignettesappearing in the plays are unrepresentative of real-life situations, but they...
here, "they" will automatically refer to "vignettes" - NOT"plays" - because it's parallel to "vignettes" (both aresubjects of their respective clauses).

说真的我没有看出when的修饰位置错误。我知道GMAT会考modifer的修饰位置，但是when从句的修饰位置问题没有遇到过


记得以前看到过RON说的一句话：there are, occasionally, things written in the OG SC answer keys that are actually incorrect.
(also, these answer keys are VERY often incomplete - often neglecting to mention the most conspicuous mistakes!)
it's obvious that the answer keys are written by their less skilled writers, and that the problems themselves are written by their "A"-team, so to speak
