答案
A
解析
Rhetorical construction; Diction
This sentence expresses a dependency between two sets of options: the first is scaling back orders versus stopping all business, and the second is fully implementing changes versus not fully implementing changes. In each case, the most succinct way to express the two options is the whether X (or Y) construction, which immediately and clearly signals the presence of two opposed options. In linking the two sets of options, depend or dependent requires the preposition on.
A Correct. Each set of options is expressed concisely with a single whether, and depend is followed by on.
B The first set of options is expressed by means of a second, redundant and illogical whether, the second set is expressed in an unclear way, unnecessarily delaying the identification of the two options until the very end. Depends on the changes . . . if fully implemented or not makes the meaning unclear. This could be an awkward way of trying to say that the outcome depends on whether the changes will be made, but it could just as plausibly be an attempt to say that the outcome depends on the changes, regardless of whether the changes will be fully implemented.
C Both sets of options are expressed without whether, and the first set does not even explicitly say that there is such an option. As a result, the existence of two dependent sets of options is unclear until the end of the sentence.
D The first set of options is correctly expressed with whether, but the second is not; also, depend lacks a following preposition on.
E Both sets of options are expressed without whether, and the first set does not even explicidy signal the existence of options, so the existence of two dependent sets of options is unclear until the end of the sentence.
The correct answer is A.
