One of Ronald Reagan's first acts as President was to rescind President Carter's directive that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries.


(A) that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries
(B) that any chemical be prohibited from sale to other countries that was banned on medical grounds in the United States
(C) prohibiting the sale to other countries of any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States
(D) prohibiting that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States is sold to other countries
(E) that any chemical banned in the United States on medical grounds is prohibited from being sold to other countries.

OA [spoiler]C. why not A ?[/spoiler]

Hi Abhishek,

In A: "...in the United States be prohibited..." the word prohibited appears to qualify US rather than the intended word "sale". However, in C this error is corrected "..prohibiting the sale.."

Let me know if you have questions.

Regards,
Bharat.
