这道题我一开始觉得E很奇怪，因为总觉得being heavily commited to a source。。。应该修饰executive，而忽略了他应该作为主语的情况，而直接排除了。但后来有同学告诉我，如果要修饰executive，应该不要being，直接heavily commited to

开始8888结束

看了楼主的分析，但是觉得讲的不是很清楚。分享下本人的快速解法。
A) Heavy commitment [ by an executive ...

a选项的it作为形式宾语代指后面的to miss signs。。。为什么不可以

又一次做错，罚抄OG解释（顺便加上自己的拙见供大家参考，不足之处望补充）：

This sentence explains that an executive who is blindly committed to a proven course of action is likely to overlook or misinterpret indicators that the plan may no longer be working.The sentence needs to make clear who may misinterpret these indicators.
（首先弄清逻辑意思：这个句子描述的是 "一个executive盲目致力于一个action（特别是过去生效过的action）就可能会miss or misinterpret一些signs"   
什么导致什么发生这个miss or misinterpret的动作，这个很重要。
即这个盲目致力的行为 导致 executive发生miss的动作。 ）

A. The passive construction causes the sentence to be wordy and confusing; the reference for IT is ambiguous, leaving the reader with questions about who or what is likely to miss these signs.
（by这个被动结构显得啰嗦，？这里我不懂；makes it likely to miss...的it指代不明-it可以做形式宾语指代 “to miss……” ，但根据 “make sb. likely to do sth.” 的用法，“it”也可指代“executive”，但也可指代前面的主语Heavy commitment，所以leaving the reader with questions about who or what is likely to miss these signs.）

B. The sentence structure indicates that the executive, not his or her strategy, causes signs to be overlooked; the modifier when they do appear is misplaced.
(逻辑意思：盲目致力的行为 导致 executive发生miss的动作。 B选项 An executive...makes missing signs...错误；when they do appear应该修饰miss or misinterpret动作，这里位置错误。？这里我不懂）
C. The reference for the pronoun IT is unclear because many nouns have intervened between the appearance of the logical referent( course of action) and it.
（it指代不明，因为在it和其指代的逻辑先行词-course of action中间太多名词，即代词和先行词不能隔太远！）

D. Misinterpreting should be an infinitive verb form to parallel miss, the phrasing throughout the sentence is wordy and awkward.
（miss和misinterpret不平行。）

E. CORRECT. The grammatical structure of this sentence and the appropriate placement of modifiers expresses the meaning clearly and concisely.
（ 逻辑： 盲目致力action(特别是生效过的action)（的行为） 使得 executive容易miss or misinterpret... 语法上 being主语正确；one插入修饰正确；is谓语后面部分 平行正确, when修饰正确。 全部正确 选它！）

wow 正好不太理解这道题
先顶慢慢看

GMAT要上700

有没有sb make sth likely的用法？
不明白C选项为什么可以说it 指代incipient trouble？这里说的是signs of incipient trouble，要指代也应该指代完整的宾语吧？（incipient trouble 只是作定语修饰signs的）应该指代signs of incipient trouble ？然后it 只能指代单数。所以觉得这里不存在it 指代问题、、、、

我也有相同的困惑 A项说是commitment makes it ...  可否由 评价不能发出动作 来排除 ...

RON对E选项的解释里有提到：
I cringe a bit at the use of 'being' - my first thought is that we could make the sentence better by using a noun, such as 'commitment' - but then you'd need some sort of possessive pronoun to show that it's the executive who's committed. in any case, (e) is definitely the best of the options here, none of which is perfect by any stretch.
所以，单根据commitment makes it...我觉得是不能用来排除选项A的。

另外：* makes it likely to miss...    this doesn't work.
technically, this would mean that "it" - an unspecified entity - is likely to miss the signs.
if you use the "it is ADJ..." construction, and the verb has a specific subject, you MUST include that subject in the construction. it is likely that the executive will miss...

前来围观
