avoide不是facilities, 而是duplication。看中心词。AB    alone的位置也不对

所以，只能在D和E中间看，

D肯定不对，所以选E。

问来了关于ABD项的解释。
"on the basis of"   on the basis of x = using x as your source of information or evidence;  you (almost always) can also say "based on" meaning the same thing

"On the basis of Bingru's opinion of Nan, Steve decided she was a really really nice person."

usually don't say "on the grounds of," but "on grounds of" -- this = because, a little more fancy or legal sounding

"It was decided that the killer was not responsible for his actions on grounds of insanity."

D below is wrong because "while" =  at the same time as
