求教PERP中的一道语法

angel0428

In an attempt to guarantee the security ofits innovative water purification method, the company required each employee tosign a confidentiality agreement prohibiting that its water purificationmethods be disclosed to companies using an analogous purification process.

   A. prohibiting that its water purification methods be disclosed to companies
   B. prohibiting them from the disclosing of its water     purification methods to any company
   C. prohibiting     disclosure of its water purification     methods to any company
   D. that would     prohibit them from disclosure of its     water purification methods to companies
   E. that would     prohibit its water purification methods to be disclosed to a company

PREP的答案是C,可我选了E
我一开始觉得应该用that,就直接把ABC毙了...
而且我用古狗搜了下，prohibit ... to be done的用法是可以的。
求教NN~
谢谢啦~

GMAT语法中prohibit有两个用法：1.prohibit from 2. prohibit sth 而且，lz一开始就不应该因为that把ABC排除啊，排除也应该是排除DE…… would表示两种意思：1.有可能性，但是可能性小于will 2.与事实相反的假设 而且that从句相比于直接用prohibiting显得wordy
题目的意思是“为了试图保证其innovative water purification method的安全，这个公司要求每个员工签署一份保密协议，这个协议严禁innovative water purification method被泄露给任何一家使用类似净化流程的公司”
选项分析：
A prohibit that+clause在GMAT语法中是错误的表达，同样错误的还有forbidden that+clause
B them没有指代对象 前面的主语company和employee都是单数
C正确 清晰而简洁地表达出了题目要说的意思，idiom运用正确 后面的any company强调了“任何”的意思
D that would这个表达wordy，them 无所指，companies没有表达出“任何公司”的意思
E that would这个表达wordy，被动式awkward 而且与前面的employee逻辑含义有点矛盾 什么叫做“要求员工签订协议禁止innovative water purification method不被泄露”呢？a company失去了句子原意
