Penn State (real-life example)

OK this is by no means any "official" problem but EssaySnark saw a sentence in a newspaper article just now that totally qualifies as a SC problem -- so we decided to make one up for BTG!

(Apologies for the distasteful content.)

Two Penn State University officials appeared Monday in a Harrisburg, Pa., district court to be charged with lying to a grand jury investigating allegations that former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky abused children and failing to report suspected abuse of a child.

A. investigating allegations that former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky abused children and failing to report suspected abuse of a child.
B. investigating allegations that former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky abused children and failed to report suspected abuse of a child.
C. that investigated allegations about former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky abusing children and failing to report suspected abuse of a child.
D. investigating allegations about former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky abusing children and failing to report suspected abuse of a child.
E. which failed to report suspected abuse of a child while investigating allegations that former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky abused children.

No idea if you'll find this an easy or a hard problem. The actual sentence was found here if you want to investigate (spoiler alert - don't read it until you've answered the problem): https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ear ... ml?hpid=z2

We'll call the sentence in that article the OA!
