Could you tell me whether these sentences are correct or not?
Hi, everyone!
Yesterday, I have posted a question. But I’m not able to get any answer yet. Previous one might make you confused because my english is not enough. So, I will repost a simplified question.
Please tell me whether the below sentences a) and b) are correct or not. If not, tell me the reason too, please. Thank you!
a). First Choice Bank announced yesterday that its board of directors would meet next Monday to discuss whether to proceed with the merger.
b). First Choice Bank announced yesterday that its board of directors would meet next Monday to discuss whether they are to proceed with the merger.
* I added the words “they are” into the sentence (a), and that is the sentence (b).
