泾渭不凡

217.(T-3-Q17) (天山-7-14)Not one of the potential investors is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded.

A.is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were

B.is expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal was

C.is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement be signed by them with a provision for penalties if the deal were

D.are expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until it signs a merger agreement with a provision for penalties included if the deal was(A)

E.are expected to be making an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal were



题目释义：Not one of n.s is expected to do sth. until a MA is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded.

考点：主谓一致（agreement）习惯用语（idiom）

1. (not) one of the+名词复数+单数形式谓语；Not one of =none of。

2. 虚拟语气：与将来事实相反，条件从句的谓语be动词一律用were to+动词原形。

3. 被动语态未必比主动语态差，被动语态有其特殊功能，比如可以避免写出动作发出者来避免错误或累赘。

选项分析：A.Correct；a merger agreement引导的句子并不是if the deal were的主句，If the deal were中的If可以理解为“in case (that)”，后接虚拟语气，由此可见虚拟条件句不一定非要虚拟主句才能使用（if the deal were这个用法其实也和if any类似，作为独立成分出现在句中）；a merger agreement is signed that includes中that没有直接与a merger agreement相邻而且跳过了谓语动词修饰，这说明关系代词短距离跳跃指代是允许的

B.表示动作的目的用to do比for buying更好，表示一个动作趋向；they无指代；虚拟语气用用was错误

C.be signed时态错误；with a provision修饰be signed，意思成了需要一个条例来规范”签署”这一动作，而不再是签署有这一条例的协议；them和an offer单复数不匹配，一个投资者只能有一个offer，并不需要写出by them

D.are错误，主谓不一致；For buying错误同B；虚拟语气用was错误；It无指代

E.are错误，主谓不一致；they和an offer单复数不匹配，一个投资者只能有一个offer，选项这么写好像在说只要一有投资者，那么所有的潜在投资者都要签署agreement，所以最好的写法是通过被动语态来避免直接写出动作行使者

补充说明：1. 关于定语从句的关系代词能否跨越谓语动词指代：如果关系代词与先行词相隔较短，关系代词能跨越谓语动词指代，如本句a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision。

2. 关于none of(by windmaple)：None可以等于not one（动词用单数），也可以等于not any（动词用复数），这个是有争论的，Manhattan Review SC上的SANAM说none要看情况定动词单复数；manhattan forum上的结论是：因为none在OG里面从来没用过复数动词，所以大家还是选单数吧。


这个题饭饭也没有错。。。其他知识点都明白。。。。
C的选项分析：“them和an offer单复数不匹配，一个投资者只能有一个offer，并不需要写出by them ”这句逻辑含义不懂啊。。。。。求教大家，哪位这句话懂得请解释一下。。。金融的课程学的不是很多。。。。。真的理解不上去啊。。。。求讲解。。。。。

PS：那个。。花花绿绿的highlight是饭饭之前看笔记整理知识点的时候自己弄的。。。。这里就不再次编辑咯。。。。。大家凑合看一下哦。。。。。谢谢咯。。。。
