Hospitals in the bistate area

by joyseychow » Tue Oct 20, 2009 6:53 pm
Building large new hospitals in the bistate area would constitute a wasteful use of resources, on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone.
(A) on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone
(B) on the grounds of avoiding duplicated facilities alone
(C) solely in that duplicated facilities should be avoided
(D) while the duplication of facilities should be avoided
(E) if only because the duplication of facilities should be avoid


This ques has been discussed before but there were no conclusive answer and the explanations were unclear. Appreciate if someone could shed some light to this. Thks!

B sounds the best and E is certainly pathetic. Any idea on the source of this question? Apart from other forums of course :)
