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。
当剩下DE选项的时候直接去找不同点，思考不同点的理由，不要割裂来看两个选项。E选项中的that are 没有任何意义，可以直接去掉。
计划的内容是宣告……，所以是先有计划才能在宣告，那么计划的发生对于宣告有直接的影响。且E中that are本身是多余的，that作为从句的主语没有指代，如果是指代计划则不是在说人话
e选项中限制性定语从句that are修饰plans，是多余的，可以直接to do 做定语
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，❌
老师，关于这个外延还是内涵的知识点不是很理解，执行官是否宣布计划跟计划的内容有什么关系？不管你宣布不宣布，计划的内容就是那些呀，怎么会改变呢？计划应该是在宣布前就拟定好了吧，宣布与否为何会影响计划内容改变？
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。A选项：不定式和ing作状语，首选不定式
此题省略了on Wednesday 的on
宣布计划去削减是svo吗，还是削减是计划的定语？
老师，为什么on wednesday这里可以省略on呢
If the problem is about using Wednesday barely without the preposition on, then I would say that it is an accepted version all over American journalism and composition to use timelines without the proposition on. This choice also proves GMAT has taken it.

E选项中that are to cut .....算不算plan的同位语呢
不算，同位语从句要求句子本身结构完整，这个没有主语，只能是定语从句

老师，cut的逻辑主语是plan还是executives呢？
是不是D E少了on Wednesday
老师您好~关于to do 和that 那块 我理解的是 announce不会对削减产生影响 所以带to 的不对 不明白这种说法为什么不对 谢谢老师~
to do和that从句都可以看作plan的定语(to cut作为plan的内容)，可是为什么announce会影响这一部分的发生从而决定选择D呢？
对啦
E选项： This suggests that the plans will cut the debt, when it's the executive who will cut the debt.
e选项把plans...that are to cut看成了一个从句形式，对比d选项的to cut，判断前面的动词announce对此有直接影响，故选了d。请问是否正解？
nice！

E选项为什么that are不能添加看不懂，虽然tocut就能修饰了，但加了thatare感觉也没错啊？
Plans are to cut...可以表达to cut是一个目标嘛？
不是。是plans的内容。

Plans that are to cut...
= Plans are to cut...主语不对
