实例题目：
Outlining his strategy for nursing the troubled conglomerate back to health, the chief executive’s plans were announced on Wednesday for cutting the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months.
(A) executive’s plans were announced on Wednesday for cutting the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
(B) executive’s plans, which are to cut the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months, were announced on Wednesday
(C) executive’s plans for cutting the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months were announced on Wednesday
(D) executive announced plans Wednesday to cut the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
(E) executive announced plans Wednesday that are to cut the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
选项分析：
(A)executive's plans were announced on Wednesday for cutting the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
【错误1】 修饰成分：“Outlining his strategy for nursing the troubled conglomerate back to health”本意上应做“announced”的伴随状语，因此其逻辑主语应与“announced”相同，因此其后连接的主谓结构中，做主语的本应为“executive”，而非“executive's plans”。
【错误2】 句子意思：“plans”和“for cutting”搭配使用表意逊于(D)中“plans”和“to cut”搭配，因为“to do”结构能可用于更加合理地表达“目的”的含义。
(B)executive's plans, which are to cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months, were announced on Wednesday
【错误1】 修饰成分：见(A)中【错误1】。
【错误2】 简洁明了：“plans, which are to”中的“, which are”不具有简洁性，如果将其去掉完全不影响表意
(C)executive's plans for cutting the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months were announced on Wednesday
【错误】 句子意思：见(A)中【错误2】。
(D)executive announced plans Wednesday to cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
【正确】 “plans to cut”正确使用了“plan to do sth.”的固定搭配(其中“plan”作动词或名词均可)，“Wednesday”即便不合“on”连用组成“on Wednesday” ，也可以用作表时间的状语。
【大意】 在概述他使一个麻烦重重的集团企业恢复健康的战略时，总裁与周三宣布通过在未来18个月出售120亿美元资产以价格低公司巨额债务的计划。
(E)executive announced plans Wednesday that are to cut the company's huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
【错误】 简洁明了：类似地，见(B)中(2)“that are”没有任何意义，完全可以去掉。
解题思路：
“Outlining his strategy for nursing the troubled conglomerate back to health”打头意味着只有“executive”才能做其后主谓结构的主语，立即排除(A)、(B)、(C)。
“plan”完全可以直接与“to”搭配，两者之间加入“that are”不具有简洁性，因此(D)、(E)中选择(D)。
