题目分析:
句首出现的现在分词短语一定是伴随状语,该分词的主语同其修饰的句子的主语相同。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项中outline的主语是计划(plans),但是,在逻辑上,能概括策略的肯定是“人”,而不是“计划”,所以outline的逻辑主语应该为executive而不是executive’s plans;
另外,for cutting the company’s huge debt不能用于修饰plan。这点考查了“不定式和ing的区别”。用之于本选项,计划的内容,肯定是在主句发生后,会被影响进而开始发生的事件,所以必须用不定式短语。
B选项:outline的主语错误同(A)。
C选项:outline的主语错误同(A)。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:本选项中that are to cut the company’s huge debt是plans的限定性定语,其中的that are是不能添加的。to cut已经可以修饰plans了,表示plans的内容,不必要再行添加that are。
现在分词做状语,主语是人来执行outline的动作,所以排除ABC选项
A选项:plans were announced for cutting...were announced修饰前面plans还是后面for cutting...有歧义;
B选项:which are to...时态有问题,同时巨长的修饰成分,祝谓语隔的较远,不优;
C选项:同B
E选项:that are to cut...限制性定语从句,that are代表the plans 自己执行cutting and selling 的行为,❌
