15. In his research paper, Dr. Frosh, medical director of the Payne Whitney Clinic, distinguishes mood swings. which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis.

(A)    mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis
(B)    mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis ,
(C)    between mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis
(D)    between mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis
(E)    genuine manic-depressive psychosis and mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease

ETS Exaplaination
The best choice is C because it uses the idiomatically correct expression distinguishes between x and y and because it provides a structure in which the relative clause beginning which may be violent clearly modifies mood swings. The other choices use distinguishes in unidiomatic constructions. Additionally, their in A is intrusive and unnecessary, and the modifier of mood swings in B and D (perhaps violent) is awkward and less clear than the more developed clause which may be violent.

My Question:
Why is the modifier of mood swings in B and D (perhaps violent) awkward and less clear? thanks!

我也不太明白，只是隐约觉得perhaps和maybe过于主观，慎用，应替换成probably(是不是，忘了?)或may be

高!这是从哪儿看来的?
according to OG SC 26, "probably">"maybe". Is it the same reason behind?

类似的还有hopefully，应该替换成it is hoped等。

文词替换的还有：old--ancient
death--obtuary

还有一些，但是忘了

语法讨论还是请到语法区，否则数学讨论会被淹没的：）

我等会帮你移过去
