OG对attempt的用法倾向

utena

查了下OG 中好像不倾向用attempt doing或者attempt sth，不知NN是否认同？

如下例，虽然解释并没有给出这个问题的说明：

Judicial rules in many states require that the identi-ties of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut the testi-mony, but the Constitution explicitly requires only that the defendant have the opportunity to confront an accuser in court.
(A) that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut
(B) that the identities of all prosecution witnesses be made known to defendants so that they can attempt to rebut
(C) that the defendants should know the identities of all prosecution witnesses so they can attempt a rebuttal of
(D) the identities of all prosecution witnesses should be made known to defendants so they can attempt rebutting
        
(E) making known to defendants the identities of all prosecution witnesses so that they can attempt to rebut

In English the subjunctive mood is used to express a wish or requirement that a certain course of action be taken. Such phrasing takes the form to wish [or] require that x be y, not that x should be y or that x is y. Choice B, therefore, is best. In place of the subjunctive, A uses the indicative are and E uses an awkward gerund, making, while C and D contain the unnecessary should. A and C also omit that after so, and D omits that after require. The phrase attempt to rebut is more idiomatic than the phrases that replace it in C and D. Choices C and E awkwardly place the plural noun witnesses between the plural pronoun they and its referent, defendants.

路过，顺便就这题OG解释问一下，关于最后一句：

Choices C and E awkwardly place the plural noun witnesses between the plural pronoun they and its referent, defendants.

－－－－有哪位NN能解释一下，OG上说得这一点错在哪里了么？

－－－－又看了一下：难道是OG要求，代词要就近指代可以合理指代的名词？哪位NN可以confirm一下？
