SC Doubt

by ritin.kakkar Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:21 pm

In their latest press release, the company's new management stated a plan for expansion of its operations into the global software market via a series of acquisitions in Asia and Latin America.

a. the company's new management stated a plan for expansion of its operations
b. the new company's management stated that they planned on expanding its operations
c.the company's new managers stated their plan to expand its operations
d.the new company managers stated their plan for its operations, expanding
e.the company's new management stated that they planned to expand its operations

Is their any error in the question? Its doesn't have an antecedent.

Is 'C' the answer?

"In their latest press release, ....." - 'Their' refers to Managers, and it can't refer to management.

D is out because of the 'expanding .... ' modifier issue.

Nice job, Jazmet! The answer is indeed C, and you are correct on those eliminations. ABE for the "their" needing to refer to "managers", and D for the "expanding".
