OG15

15. In his research paper, Dr. Frosh, medical director of the Payne Whitney Clinic, distinguishes mood swings. which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis.

(A) mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(B) mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis ,

(C)between mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(D) between mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(E)  genuine manic-depressive psychosis and mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease

and the modifier of mood swings in B and D (perhaps violent) is awkward and less clear than the more developed clause which may be violent（哪位NN能帮我解释一下具体是怎么个awkward and less clear？）. 谢谢啦！！

A simpler sentence may make the incorrectness look clearer,

I can distinguish between cars, perhaps very expensive, and bicycles.

对不起,可是选的是有定语从句的那个,不是perhaps的那个

Sorry that I confused you. I meant to use a simplified sentence that has the same structure as the incorrect choice to show you the awkwardness in the sentence.
