Constance Horner, chief of the United States government's personnel agency, has recommended that the use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds for not hiring an applicant.

(A) the use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds for not hiring an applicant
(B) any dangerous or illegal drug, if used in the five years prior to applying for a job, should be grounds not to hire the applicant
(C) an applicant's use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds not to hire them
(D) an applicant's use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to applying for a job are grounds that they not be hired
(E) for five years prior to applying for a job, an applicant's use of any dangerous or illegal drug be grounds for not hiring them

I am repeating this questions because the other discussions on this SC was not adequate.

I know you're not disclosing where you get these sentences from, but honestly, you are wasting your time with them. I'm almost convinced these sentences are constructed by people who learned English as a second language.

Pay attention to his threads. All of the sentences are awkward and you will see the experts come in and say that the sentence and all of the answer choices are wrong.

(A) the use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds for not hiring an applicant.........seems no issue
(B) any dangerous or illegal drug, if used in the five years prior to applying for a job, should be grounds not to hire the applicant.......not to hire is awkward
(C) an applicant's use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to application for a job be grounds not to hire them,.........them should refer to plural noun
(D) an applicant's use of any dangerous or illegal drug in the five years prior to applying for a job are grounds that they not be hired.....they is incorrect pronoun for an applicant
(E) for five years prior to applying for a job, an applicant's use of any dangerous or illegal drug be grounds for not hiring them...them is plural...an applicant is singular

First, sorry if I offended you with my posts. I really do not intend to hide the source of any question, just that I was posting the questions from an error log I keep. Anyway I did some googling to find out the source for this one. Here it is:

My only request is in future if you want to express your thoughts/feelings/grievances not related to GMAT please send me a pm, rather than discuss it on the forum.

Peace.
