The 151 member governments of the World Bank are expected to increase the bank's funding by $75 billion,though some United States legislators cite an obstacle to congressional passage being the concern that the bank's loans will help foreign producers compete with American businesses.

(A) an obstacle to congressional passage being the concern
(B) a concern as an obstacle to congressional passage
(C) as an obstacle to congressional passage the concern
(D) the concern, an obstacle to congressional passage,
(E) as an obstacle for Congress to pass it the concern

OA C

Need explanation for all choices.

Thanks[/u]

on broader line we need to place "concern" very close to "that" modifier to have a nice meaning .this is happening only in A C and E .other error are shown in bold



(A) an obstacle to congressional passage being the concern--->"being" as a modifier is wrong
(B) a concern as an obstacle to congressional passage----->here we are citing a specific concern so we need "the concern"
(C) as an obstacle to congressional passage the concern---->correct. you can cite X as Y OR u can also cite AS X Y
(D) the concern, an obstacle to congressional passage,--->here "an obstacle to congressional passage" is acting as an appositive giving a non-nonsensical meaning implying that "the concern" is "an obstacle to congressional passage"
(E) as an obstacle for Congress to pass it the concern ---->"it" does not seems to refer to anything !!
