73. Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sale of oil into a special fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves.
(A) fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves
(B) fund, the intention of which is to sustain the state’s economy after they have exhausted their oil reserves
(C) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted
(D) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after exhausting its oil reserves
(E) fund that they intend to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted


pls help

It's C.

A -- comma unnecessary

B -- same as A; "the intention of which is to sustain" is too passive and not concise

C -- correct

D -- exhausting is present tense, but special fund will not sustain the economy until the oil reserves are exhausted.

E -- "that they intend to" is not as concise as "intended"; not concise

Dan,
Why do you say " comma is unnecessary " in option A ?

Is it because ",with ......" modifies FUND if comma is there ??

I guess, Had COMMA been not there, WITH would have been connected to " alaska" or it's action. Am i right ??

Kindly throw some light.

Thankyou,
Rashmi
