to payoff || to profit (A/E)

stuck....

A (guessed) hoping || using ... what is the idiom I am missing AIM
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

C. using the companies' earnings and profiting
D. with the company's earnings, profiting
E. with the companies' earnings and to profit
IMO E

first of all notice companies in the non-underlined part..so its companies whose earnings used to pay of the debt NOT company...hence choices A, D,out as it should be companies'...
Now to pay off is || to profit in op E...also u can rephrase as hoping to pay off is parallel to hoping to profit...hence E

@AIM and HSPA

Logically, one Pay off the debt with the earnings(money) NOT By using money.

Hope this help
