From 1000 SC, cash flow crisis

by Kelly » Thu Sep 03, 2009 6:51 am
Beyond the immediate cash flow crisis that the museum faces, its survival depends on if it can broaden its membership and leave its cramped quarters for a site where it can store and exhibit its more than 12,000 artifacts.

A) if it can broaden its membership and leave
B) whether it can broaden its membership and leave
c) whether or not it has the capability to braoden its membership and can leace
D) its ability for broadening its membership and leaving
E) the ability for it to broaden its membership and leave

OAB
I chose D, I thought that 'whether ~ A or B' is the correct idiom, what am I missing here?

D and E are out because "ability for" is incorrect.

A is out because "depends on if " is incorrect as well

C is out as you never use "whether or not" as it is reduntant.

Clearly the answer is B

whether it can broaden its membership and leave

it can broaden and "it can leave"...
