考题讲解

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。
