According to some analysts, whatever its merits, the proposal to tax away all capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street trading and employment.
(A) its merits, the proposal to tax
(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing
(C) its merits as a proposal, taxing
(D) the proposal's merits, to tax
(E) the proposal's merits are, taxing


I am confused on one thing that "its" in A, B & C option is refering to what??????

(A) its merits, the proposal to tax

(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing

(C) its merits as a proposal, taxing


(D) the proposal's merits, to tax

(E) the proposal's merits are, taxing

Proposals merits cant tax hence D and E out .

to tax is proper idiom hence B out

between A and C , obviously A is better choice

IMO A

IMO A:

the proposal to tax is right to introduce a purpose, of taxing in B is wrong.

In C merit as a proposal is nonsensical.

In D to tax doesn't seems to have a correct precedent.

The puspose of using ,taxing, usually a gerund describing adjacent noun seems to be a bad mix.
