The best way to extract the flavor from saffron threads is to soak them in liquid after pounding them
the above sentence is oa from gmatprep. i show it here to discuss .
look at choice a.
when working/ after pounding can be refer to no noun in the sentence correctly. the oa above contain no noun/agent, and "to extract", "to soak", and "after pounding" can refer to a general action , not to any noun in the sentence.
but in choice a in our problem, " global manager " appear and "when working" must refer to "manager'. but grammatically "when working" dose not refer to "manager".
I do not say that "when working" refer to "understanding", and , so, is wrong. if there is no "for the global manager" at the end of the sentence, choice a is correct possibly (except the error that "understanding of" is not parallel with "grasping issues"
one skill to realize the error of reference of to do/doing is to add SOMEONE/ FOR SOMEONE and change "doing" into "do"
we add "someone " to the oa above
The best way FOR SOMEONE to extract the flavor from saffron threads is FOR SOMEONE to soak them in liquid after SOMEONE POUND them
the above sentence is correct.
add "someone "into choice a.
when SOMEONE WORK with overseas clients, an understanding of cultural norms is at least as important as grasping OF the pivotal business issues for the global manager.
(to make it simple, suppose we have OF after "grasping". this error is not mentioned here".
the sentence is incorrect, because we have SOMEONE and global manager.
if there is an agent/performer of action in the sentence, to do/doing must refer to him/her grammatically because logically to do/doing must refer to the agent.

A. "when working " incorrectly modifies "an understanding ".
B. 'They' cannot refer to singular 'manager'. "at least of equal importance as" is not idiomatic. "at least as important as" is the correct construction.
C. CORRECT ANSWER. Maintains parallelism. Modifier is correctly placed and structured.
D. "for global managers + to them" is redundant. "that they grasp the pivotal issues" is not parallel to "understanding of cultural norms".
E. "an understanding of" (A complex gerund) cannot be parallel to "grasping the pivotal " (A simple gerund).
Hope this helps!
