                大全987-73

Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sale of oil into a special fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves.

(A) fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves

(B) fund, the intention of which is to sustain the state’s economy after they have exhausted their oil reserves

(C) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted

(D) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after exhausting its oil reserves

(E) fund that they intend to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted

The answer is C, which I am not entirely sure. Any NN can explain why not A, only because it is wordy?

A变成修饰动作发出者Alaska,错。是修饰fund

s7s7

A中见到with the intention就砍掉

not really get it.

"with the intention" should have logical subject "people in Alaska", not fund. Even the subject "alaska" is indeed not a perfect match for "with the intention". But since "Alaska" can "deposits" profits, maybe it also makes sense that "Alaska" can "have a intention"?

To s7s7: I do have the same gut feeling that "with + abstract noun" is certainly not preferable in GMAT but the tricky part is it could still be the answer sometimes.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

这题在OG里面也有吧。句意明显是修饰fund的，很难解释~
