答案
B
解析
Diction; Rhetorical construction; Logical predication
Although in informal speech and writing, like is sometimes used as a conjunction as it is here, this use in more formal writing is controversial and is generally frowned on; using as instead of like would be preferable in this sentence. The phrase proceeding without a definite plan for the upcoming labor negotiations can function either as a gerund phrase, in which case it functions as a noun, or as a participle phrase, in which case it functions as an adjective. As worded here, the phrase may seem to function as an adjective, modifying it. However, what is meant by the sentence is that the act of proceeding without a definite plan would have proven to be a disaster, in which case the word it should be removed and the phrase in question should be taken to be a gerund phrase that acts as the subject for the verb would have proven.
A The sentence is flawed in the ways discussed above.
B Correct. This version correctly uses as rather than like, and concisely uses the phrase beginning with proceeding as the subject of the sentence.
C Without the presence of a definite plan is wordier than necessary; without a definite plan would be preferable. As would be preferable to like.
D Without the presence of a definite plan is wordier than necessary; without a definite plan would be preferable.
E Without their having a definite plan is wordy; without a definite plan would be preferable. The word it should be removed as described in connection with A.
The correct answer is B.
