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.

trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they
do appear.
3 problems.

1) An executive .. makes missing signs. Sounds awkward. misses signs would fit here.
2) Also, the parallel structure is not all that great: "makes missing signs ... or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear"
3) THe ending is also awkward: An executive .... makes misinterpreting ones likely when they
do appear. "An executive is likely to misinterpret signs when they appear." is short and correct.


Even with the use of being, E has no grammatical errors.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

Sounds awkward doesnt seem to be a good strategy for eliminating answer choices during the test,

B)
missing signs of incipient
trouble or misinterpreting is a gerund ( Verbs as Noun ) and "they" must refer to signs which is inside the gerund

blaster wrote:what is wrong with C?
is "it" referring to trouble ?
Why is A wrong ? Is it because we do not know who is missing ?
in A , "Can them in the parallel clause refer to signs in the parallel clause before and "

(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.

In A "makes it likely" is wrong. It is meaning as if "course of action is missing signs" though correct is that "executive misses the signs"..................i hope u got it now
