我觉得这里的A不对的

After
several years of rapid growth, the healthy care company became one of
the largest health care providers in the metropolitan area, while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to doctors and hospitals.

1. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to
2. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to
3. but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying
4. but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying
5. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying

While it then proved unable to...这里的proved是被动语态补全就是

while it (is) then proved (that it is) unable to...

要省也应该是it is一起省~~所以A是不对的

E就是把it is 一起省掉了，还是E好一点的~~

继续讨论~~

*****************************************************************

 说的好.同意. AB逻辑上都不如CDE,用but清晰. CD2个省略了动词(was),却没有省略主语.要省一起省略.

OG上有一题,就是while+名词短语,判断为错的,一时找不到. but连词应该同理

我觉得选C，while和then在一起很别扭。

C的falling是proved伴随动作，所以修饰it，但是E的falling只能修饰最前面的company，所以不明确伴随become还是proved。E的形式是A do， but then do，falling。而C是A do，but it then do，falling。

选c

先由时间逻辑排除while。因为after aeveral years of growth, company 变成largest，这之后（then）发现company出现问题。

时态问题排除D（proving）

在C,E间艰难抉择，区别就在于一个it 一个its

关于it,有人支持E说but后可以省略主谓语，确实有省略情况，但不是这句子得情况（参照LDCE）

1
used to connect two statements or phrases when the second one adds something different or seems surprising after the first one
It's an old car, but it's very reliable. They rushed to the hospital, but they were too late. We've invited the boss, but she may decide not to come. an expensive but extremely useful book 'Has he got any experience?' 'No, but he's keen to learn.'
2
used to introduce a statement that explains why the thing you have mentioned did not happen or is not possible
I'd like to go but I'm too busy. They would have married sooner, but they had to wait for her divorce.
3
used after a negative to emphasize that it is the second part of the sentence that is true
He lied to the court not just once, but on several occasions. The purpose of the scheme is not to help the employers but to provide work for young people.
4
except
What can we do but sit and wait? I had no choice but to accept the challenge. Not a day goes by but I think of dear old Larry (=I think of him every day) .

很明显此句是but得第一种情况－－－but连接2个陈述，其中第二个陈述转折。例句中but前后主谓都一样但都没有省略，而且可以看到省略后很奇怪

回头看C中得it 是完全成立的。虽然 sth be proved经常用被动，但是也能用主动可以约等于be的作用linking一个问题。 引用LDCE:

2
▶BE◀
[linking verb] if someone or something proves difficult, helpful, a problem etc, they are difficult, helpful, a problem etc
The recent revelations may prove embarrassing to the President.

关于its，有比没有好，参照fall behind的用法

3
to fail to finish a piece of work or pay someone money that you owe them at the right time
fall behind (somebody/something) with/on
After losing his job, he fell behind with his mortgage payments.
The project has fallen behind schedule .

发现接有主人的名词比动名词好

综上，选C

raisinzz'S explanation sounds reasonable. Compaired with the flaws of A and E, C's flaw can be negligible.

我选E

1. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to 不正确：while作conj.的时候表示“当...时候”或者“虽然”，因此逻辑意思反了。

2. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to 不正确：原因同上

3. but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying 不正确：behind in its paying to....，可以使its payment；就想我们不能说“Mary's arriving at the hospital”，我们可以说"Mary's arrival at the hospital"

4. but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying 不正确：proving不恰当

5. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying 正确
