Outlining his strategy for nursing the troubled conglomerate back to health,the chief executive's plans were announced on Wednesday for cutting the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12billion in assets over the next 18 months

< The first three options were wrong as they all had the dangling modifier problem>

D) executive announced plans Wednesday to cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12billion in assets over the next 18 months

E) executive announced plans Wednesday that are to cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12billion in assets over the next 18 months

- Though i narrowed down to the last two - the plans Wednesday put me off completely and i could not choose anything. Is "plans Wednesday" correct?

In each answer choice, Wednesday is an adverb indicating WHEN the executive announced plans.

Here is E with the adverb omitted:
...the chief executive announced PLANS THAT ARE TO CUT THE COMPANY'S HUGE DEBT.

The modifier here (that are to cut) implies that the PLANS themselves will be cutting the debt.
Not the intended meaning.

The correct answer is D.

Whereas E implies that the plans themselves will be cutting the debt, the wording in the OA -- plans to cut the debt -- correctly implies that the PURPOSE of the plans is TO CUT THE DEBT.

Thank you GMATGuruNY, Wednesday being an adverb in this sentence is a new learning for me.Very surprising though, we generally do not speak or read such sentences.
