(A) a corporation commits a crime whenever one of its employees commits a crime, if the employee acted
(B) a corporation is committing a crime whenever one of its employees committed a crime, if those employees were acting
(C) corporations commit a crime whenever one of its employees does, on the condition that the employee acts
(D) corporations commit crimes whenever an employee of those corporations commit a crime, if it was while acting
(E) the corporation whose employees commit a crime, commits a crime, whenever the employee acted

Answer 1

Answer:

The Correct Option is A

Explanation:

Option A: A Corporate "commits", when one employee "commits".., if the employee "acted" This show a correct logical flow.

Option B: The "committing" a crime....and the "committed" used for its employee shows a mismatch in tense even though they are simultaneous action so this option is wrong

Option C: "Corporations" commit a crime...How many corporations are committing a crime at a time here. This is already faulty and hence wrong

Option D: This is totally a blunder in logical flow.

Option E: word repetition and a mismatch of tenses almost everywhere in the sentence.
