In attempting to solve the problems caused by a lowering of the price of oil, oil companies operating in the North Sea have taken a variety of approaches, which includes their reducing employment, using new technology to pump oil more efficiently from smaller fields, and finding innovative ways to cut the cost of building and operating platforms.
E.including a reduction of employment, their use of new technology to be more efficient at pumping oil
这里的which include和including 其实在语意上并没有明显区别,我们可以看到C,E有个主要的区别是E中有个their.因为前面的复数名词不止一个,所以很难瞬间判断指代谁,会产生歧义,这样不好。得根据具体的区别来分析,不要记忆。不知是否能明白呵呵。

B.which includes reducing employment, using new technology to be more efficient in pumping oil
C.which include reducing employment, using new technology to pump oil more efficiently
D.which include the reduction of employment, their using new technology to pump oil more efficient
E.including a reduction of employment, their use of new technology to be more efficient at pumping oil
