Political figure

Any political figure who is intending on running for president will not succeed without a large quantity of campaign money contributed by wealthy benefactors.

a. who is intending on running
b. who has the intention of running
c. who is intent to run
d. intending on running
e. intent on running ANSWER

The correct idiom here is 'intent on verb-ing.' Thus we can get rid (A), (B), (C), and (D) and home in on the answer (E). A potential red-herring is the relative pronoun 'who.' Many think that it is necessary, and so end up eliminating (D) and (E). However, by simply getting rid of 'who + verb' we can use 'intent on running' as an adjective phrase modifying the subject 'figure.'

Hope that helps .
