Although the manager agreed to a more flexible work schedule, he said it must be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor will konw what everyone is

(A)he said it must be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor will konw what everyone is

(B)he said it had to be posted on the bulletion board so that both management and labor konws what everyone is

(C)he said that they would have to post the assignments on the bulletion board so that management and labor knew what everyone was

(D)he said that the schdule would have to be posted on the bulletion board so that both management and labor would konw what everyone was

(E)saying that the schedule had to be posted on the bulletion board so that both management and labor would konw what everyone had been

这道题为什么选a而不选C，照语法来看，D应该是最合理的，刘振民上说，是由于must和have to 的用法差别，但很明显A是语法上不合理的，gmat做题原则不是应该先语法后逻辑吗

先回答你的第一个问题：这题肯定不能选C，很明显，that后面的的they无所指代，所以绝对不能选C。

然后，D选项，整个句子意思却被篡改了，这个是the manager 建议将要做的事情，并不是一件本该做而没做的事情，因此D选项中用虚拟语气不合理。

语法必须合理的表达句子的意思才叫正确，否则就是错误的语法。

我对d的理解并不是虚拟，由于主句的谓语动词是said,是过去式，所以从句中的would，不是表示虚拟，而是表示will 的过去式，所以应该不是虚拟语气的问题...

D is wrong because "would have to be" should be simply "had to be" or "has to be"

A is right.

In the indirect speech of A, "must" and "will" form a present tense. You should use present tense in indirect speech if the argument you quote is STILL VALID (or you think it's still valid) at the moment you quote it. Check this:

Copernicus stated that the earth orbits the sun.

You should use "orbits" instead of "orbited".

If you say "he said it had to be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor would konw what everyone was", the connotation is that you don't believe what the manager said is necessarily correct; and, therefore, you don't want to quote it in the present tense as in the "Copernicus" sentense.

Thanks.
