i恩，同意楼上！下面是ManhattanGMAT上的解释：
In general, i'm loath to use apostrophe + "s" for anything but humans, animals, and the like. this is definitely NOT a hard and fast rule, but i've noticed that it's fairly consistent across most usage.
thus, "an ape's vocal tract" is preferred to "the vocal tract of an ape", but "the colors of the mural" is better than "the mural's colors".

A.have consistently received labor’s unqualifying support
这是原文所以能看出至少consistenly是修饰recieve动词的可以说 consistently recieve sth和recieve consistent xx 应该是有区别的而且貌似GMAT里面不赞成擅自改动这种修饰即使意思相近也最好不要擅自改动！所以DE应该是不对的
A选项的问题在于's 不如of 对于非生命物体来说而且unqualifying感觉是不对的应该是unqualified AC相较明显C更合适

B.are consistently receiving the unqualifying support of labor
时态擅自变动直接可以看下面的选项没有理由将一直受到XX改为正在受到xx

C.have consistently received the unqualified support of labor
这个应该挺顺的。

D.receive consistent and unqualified support by labor
E.are receiving consistent and unqualified support by labor
DE擅自把consistent和unqualified并列改变了原意同时 receive support by labor 感觉很别扭~ 同时时态来说现在时和进行时都无法很好的表示原文中完成时所表现的持续影响的意思~~

拙见

关于楼上对所有格的解释，想问下labor为什么是没有生命的啊？这里不是人力的意思吗？

饿~ 其实我觉得这里把LABOR翻译成人力不太给力~ ---3个社会活动家一直得到‘人力’的不给力帮助？我觉得你可以把LABOR翻译成工党~ 或者类似的劳动联盟啊啥啥的意思也就是 3个活动家一直得到的是‘工党’的不给力帮助~~

今天做老Prep1-39突然遇到了一个例外！

The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center, a complex where final tryouts are held for athletes representing the United States

in the Olympics, is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation for international competition.

(A) is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation

(B) is geared to enhance the performance of athletes and to prepare them

(C) are geared to enhance athletes' performance and their preparation

(D) are geared toward the enhancement of athletes' performance and toward preparing them

(E) are geared toward enhancing the performance of athletes and preparing them

我当时做的时候就只剩下C/E选项，后来选了C。后来看了答案选E。
我就在琢磨着，不是有生命的东西althlete应该用‘s的形式么，怎么这里用的是of的形式，后来想通了，我觉得这就是一个优先选择的问题，平行结构的错误>这些用词法！

SO ~大家注意了~不要犯我这经验注意错误啦！！！
