解析 Agreement; Rhetorical construction
This sentence lists three causes of the company’s troubles and asserts that strategies to correct the causes of the problems have failed. The clearest, most efficient way to explain this is to refer to he causes with the relative pronoun that, positioning it as an object of the verb failed to correct.
A The singular pronoun it has no clear antecedent; the conjunction so typically indicates that a consequence will follow, but this is not the case.
B The conjunction so is inappropriate because no consequences are given; the verb correct has no object.
C In that is an inappropriate connector because it is not followed by an indication of how the company’s troubles result from the three problems listed in the first part of the sentence.
D Correct. The sentence is clearly and efficiently worded, and the referent of the pronoun that is clear.
E Because attempts is the subject of the final clause, and that is the object of its verb (have failed to correct), the pronoun them has no function.
The correct answer is D.
