9.    In the last few years, the number of convicted criminals given community service sentences, which allow the criminals to remain unconfined while they perform specific jobs benefiting the public, have risen dramatically.
(A) sentences, which allow the criminals to remain unconfined while they perform specific jobs benefiting the public, have
(B) sentences, performing specific jobs that benefit the public while being allowed to remain unconfined, have
(C) sentences, performing specific jobs beneficial to the public while they are allowed to remain unconfined, have
(D) sentences which allow them to remain unconfined in their performing of specific jobs beneficial to the public has
(E) sentences allowing them to remain unconfined while performing specific jobs that benefit the public has

There are some differences between D and E. Can any DaXia tell me which one/ones make E the key?

12.    Because of the enormous research and development expenditures required to survive in the electronics industry, an industry marked by rapid innovation and volatile demand, such firms tend to be very large.
(A) to survive
(B) of firms to survive
(C) for surviving
(D) for survival
(E) for firms’ survival

总觉得这个 B 中的of 有点怪怪的，这里是怎么一个用法呢？

D 远不如E简洁。

此题也是OG的178题，想问一下，9中E) sentences allowing them to remain unconfined while performing specific jobs that benefit the public has  中的performing的逻辑主语是谁？，OG菜鸟手册中对此题的讨论认为“while performing 有省略，省略的主语和remain unconfined的主语一致。 ”remain unconfined的主语是sentences，但performing这个动作的执行者应该是criminals啊！ 不解，请NN指点！

没有NN能解答一下我的问题吗？

The logical subject of "remain unconfined" is "them", which is referred to "criminals".

第一个问题中的D选项是错的,是"给予社会服务判决"这件事情allow他们如何如何,而不是sentences本身allow, sentences本身无法发出allow的动作. 因此D中which意图指代的不是sentences而是前面整个句子,而根据标准书面语法则,which不可以指代前面整个句子. E的ing分词作结果状语修饰前面整句话.

moreover,D中的介词+sb.'s doing sth几乎是必错的形式. 况且请问这里介词短语in...作什么成份?跟在动词remain的后面,那就是作状语修饰动词remain了,在他们的ing动作中remain?逻辑不对啊.还有,D的benificial不如E的benefit简洁,同时,D用了形容词只说明工作是有益的,没有说明原句意图表达的服务社会的结果.

这个题所使用的语法规律和ETS遵循的东西有差距，这中矛盾其实是ETS所不能解释的，我认为，也或许是ETS故意让考生在准备时不能摸准他的思路而设的一些陷阱。不过通过做题能看出，象上面第九题的矛盾点在多年的考试中只是那么一次或最多两次而已，不要因这题就怀疑我们得出的关于DOING的一般规律。

一点个人看法。

携隐你的这部分解释有些问题吧!

对比OG186 Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be con­fined to a hotel. 这里motion后的不定式作定语,allow的动作发出者应该motion吧?

再看OG100 Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota have begun to enforce statewide bans prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves, brush, and grass clippings.这里prohibiting的逻辑主语是不是bans呢?

我认为条令、规章、判决等这些都可以allow或prohibit的，请指教？
