Let me start it by saying this : GMAT test is all about who is in control. If the test is controlling the situation, it is normal to get confused, bemused, and nervous.

If E is the OA, then I have to revisit my fundamentals :-) E is going to far by giving specific reason. "Knocked down unconscious" is one reason. There could be many other reasons. For example, the victim didn't know how to swim but the victim was consious. It is completely out of scope to...

GMAT_Perfect - I am not sure if I understand your question. "intended" and "exhausting" are both participle, and hence construct participial phrase. And by definition, participial phrase acts as an adjective and modifies noun "fund". This is what I mentioned. Did I miss...
