大全294 （sec 2-19_)

1.        Federal legislation establishing a fund for the cleanup of sites damaged by toxic chemicals permits compensating state governments for damage to their natural resources but does not allow claims for injury to people.

(A) compensating state governments for damage to

(B) compensating state governments for the damaging of

(C) giving state governments compensation for damaging

(D) giving compensation to state governments for the damage of（A）

(E) the giving of compensation to state governments for damaging

偶想问的是划线部分是充当permit的宾语？记得permit sb to do sth, permit sth， 有permit doing sth这个用法吗，最近好像好几个词混了，请指点，谢谢！

引自金山词霸

To afford opportunity or possibility for:
weather that permits sailing.

问另外一个idiom的问题：

OG说The phrasing in C, D, and E is needlessly wordy, and for the damage of in D is unidiomatic.

这里如果改为idiom应该是怎样的？
