The political action group focuses on issues that span from public transportation, the death penalty, and constitutional and tax reform.
public transportation, the death penalty, and constitutional and tax reform

public transportation, the death penalty, and constitutional reform to tax reform

public transportation, the death penalty, to constitutional and tax reform

public transportation to the death penalty, from constitutional to tax reform

public transportation and the death penalty to constitutional and tax reform
解释：
The original sentence contains an error in the use of the idiomatic phrase to span from x to y. This also results in an error in parallelism, since there is no parallel comparison among the four terms listed in the sentence. To fix this error, the idiom must be used in a correct way that also results in proper parallelism.

This option incorrectly uses the idiomatic phrase to span from x to y.

The addition of the word reform following constitutional does not fix the original error and results in a more awkward construction.

Although the word to is present in this option, the terms public transportation and the death penalty are not properly parallel.

This option overuses the idiom, making the sentence awkward and redundant.

This option uses correct parallelism by pairing the terms public transportation and the death penalty on one side of the word to, and constitutional and tax reform on the other side.

The correct answer is E

我选的C。。。。对于它的解释也不是很明白，有谁好心解释下为什么不选C,D呀
