A.while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to
B.while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to
C.but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying
D.but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying(E)
E.but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying
题目释义：the company became one of the largest providers, but then proved unable to handle sth., falling months behind in panying
选项分析：A．即便表示转折对比，while也有”at the same time“的含义在里面，与then矛盾，并让句意变成了the health care company expanding and falling是同时发生的，但是实际上应该是先became largest，然后再fell；its payment没有问题，只是没有in paying to简洁
B．while的错误同A；fall用动名词形式做伴随状语更好，因为fall和handle并不属于同一层次，而是属于unable to handle的结果；its payment没有问题，只是没有in paying to简洁
C．前面的it多余，可以省略(effctiveness)；in its paying，使得paying从动词变成了动名词，不简洁，且paying这个动作就是the health care company执行的，所以不用加上its。prep.+one’s+doing往往是不简洁的，要多加留意
