A. 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.
B. 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.
C. 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.

後面的it 我覺得是代 "a course of action "

[agk99]

坦白說，代a cource of action我覺得挺勉強的，我的ETS觀念總是將it指代單一詞(虛主詞例外)，很少有代片語的
但這不代a course of action 好像就不知代誰了，總不會代到executive吧
更何況其他選項選不下去呀，我有想過E，但最後還是刪了
理由只有一個，ETS不會出這麼醜的句子

同意agk大哥

it 代 action 怎樣 ? :)

[agk99]

a course of action要一起看(前面的commit to是介詞)，分開不是不行，會有一點牽強

[liwuu]

B. 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.

這一題我選B(B,C決選下)...大家覺得這個B有什麼問題?
至於選B的主要原因,就是worked well我想應該是指an executive再加上C中的it覺得實在不明確...所以我就選B囉!!(不過B中的one,ones我也是覺得怪怪的)

[agk99]

B. 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.

坦白說，我覺得B就己經是亂寫的了，特別是makes missing...而且看了C的句意之後，就覺得B遜掉了

原本我對這一句的解讀為
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.
藍色部分形容executive,紅色則為主要動詞An executive makes...
不過,我現在覺得B的確蠻怪的...大概當初見樹不見林吧!!

ps.agk99大哥,你說你覺得B已經是亂寫.唉!!可是我還選...不禁心中感到更憂心難過,快要考試了!!

[agk99]

sorry，我沒別的意思，就題論題
請看

C. 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.

我每次只要看到能用動詞就用動詞，時態一致，指代清晰，我就會很樂意的選，讀懂句意後，也真的覺得這句寫最好

所以啦，相形之下B就太拗口了

同意

[simommmm]

請教 A有文法上的錯誤嗎
或者只是因為A用commitment(名詞)沒有C的commit(動詞)來的好呢??

[freshmanduke]

A. 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.錯語意
heavy commitment 不可能使自己miss signs of incipient troble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
2. them 無先行詞

[ivanchiang]

A. 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

Pronoun一籮筐
看到頭都暈了
第一個it前面有commitment,a course of action可以代
緊接著後面又出現makes it，又要再判斷一次
後半段有them又有they
照文意來看只能代signs
這個選項我不認為會是ETS欣賞的選項
這樣表達似乎不大好...不知道怎麼說
但就是囉唆又難懂←所以我強烈建議踢掉她!!!!(其實部份也是因為我懶得分析)

B. 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
在B裡，也是一堆代詞
one,ones,they
想請問一下，假設說前頭已經有個one去代句中的一個singular noun
後面還能用ones去代另一個plural noun嗎?
plural pronoun(ones跟they)在這肯定只能代signs
那能夠先用ones代它，後頭再用they代嗎?
我覺得這點挺重要~需要釐清!!! 8-|
我覺得B的代詞運用也不大好

相較起來
C. 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
看起來淺顯易懂多了
they指代signs，it指代a course of action

D跟E選項我想看到being的用法就可以不選了
being不是必錯
但在D跟E的用法卻不可

另外
D開頭的Executives' being heavily committed to...
EXTREMELY AWKWARD!!!

[wangdaven]

做完仔細靜下心來看,
(C)真的是最簡潔, 把miss or misinterpret 做成一個compound predicate,
這樣signs可以共用, 不必在那邊代來代去的,
(A)的錯不多廢話,
(D)的S=Executives' being heavily committed to a course of action,
AT裡, 除非無路可走, 還是不要選這種主詞的好,
而且後面的them代替誰? 前面根本沒有複數名詞,
(E)完全改變句意, 沒說到底是誰做的action?
只講了一個不知那來的action會讓executives miss signs,
最後我覺得(B)的one會造成anbiguity,
按句意, 應該one=a course of action, 因course of action應看成一個字, 意為行動方針,
但文法上來看, 似乎one=an executive,
而且說(B)亂寫我是同意的, make後面要不加雙受詞, 要不後面加原形動詞,
這裡的make missing signs如果真要解釋,
意思是, an executive創造了一個missing(adj.) signs(n.)
signs一下用them一下用ones, 搞不懂在幹嘛,
可以確定的是, GMAT的原則, 一個名詞只能用一個代名詞,
不可以一個代名詞配二個不同名詞, 或是一個名詞配二個代名詞,
尤其還在同一個子句的先行詞裡, 可以想像OG應該會說awkward或是confusing
不過我也想知道, 可以前面用one代個單數名詞, 再用ones代另一個複數名詞嗎?
求解......

[BECKY]

不好意思喔...我的想法跟大家有一點不一樣..提出來一起討論一下喔
關於C...我覺得they 是代替前面提到的signs
而it則是代替前面的trouble..
因為這樣翻譯起來比較順
而且代名詞應該要代替離它最近的名詞啊
大概意思...executive 太專注(用心)在一件事上時..很可能錯過或是誤解一些先前trouble給的徵兆..尤其是如果那個trouble那時候被處理的很好時
(當然是因為那個trouble在那時候被處理的很好..所以executive才會miss or misinterpret,不然如果問題很大且都沒被處裡..一定會發現啊..)
所以我覺得it是代替前面的trouble...
希望沒有誤導大家...
