为什么用a那么d呢？
The word "impairment" already refers to a certain disability, so you cannot use "damaged" to govern "impairment", this kind of mistake is what we call in Gmat test "redundancy" or "repetition of meaning", which is vehemently rejected by ETS.
Someone else has already made a summary about this subject. Just make a search and you will find a dozen pairs of words which are considered redundant when used together.
是damaged，不是damage.
D中存在一个问题，what is damaged? is it "impairment" or "a common disability"? Logically incorrect.
