A.
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.

I vote B.

I think B is more clear than A, and the "has worked" is unecessary where the simple past tense "worked" is more concise and still grammatically correct.

I think its between A & E.

I vote for E,
Though "Being" is not recommended for GMAT,I think its in the right format here.
In the original sentence(choice A),the referrent it is a bit ambigous(not clear if its referring to action or the heavy commitment) and also the second "it" has no clear referrent...I hope I am interpretting it correctly.

In choice D, again the referrent them is a bit ambigous for me
Choice C appears to alter the meaning,"it" is ambigous and seems to refer to trouble!
Choice B uses an awakward construction - "makes missing signs of ...."

In my opinion,its either A or E...I vote for E as the referrents are in the correct order,Being is used in the right format...Please correct me if I am wrong

Argh...hate the long ones :-)

A. "it has worked ... , makes it likely" different referents for it. Ambiguous.
B. "one" - does it refer to commitment or executive? "makes" is awkward
C. "they do appear ... if it has worked" - incorrect pronouns to refer back
D. Executives being committed...awkward.

E. Though it uses the dreaded "being", it looks least ambiguous. pronouns
look ok.

Vote for E.

OA please.
