(The) executives
Hi all.
Could you explain this one please:
"One of the attendees at the meeting, a disgruntled shareholder, took to the floor to criticize executives."
Why not 'the executives'? It's the executives at this meeting. Is it because it's 'some' executives and not others? Thank you.

tomasd Is it because it's 'some' executives and not others? Most likely. "the executives", as you say, would be all the executives at the meeting.
