1.        Building large new hospitals in the bistate area would constitute a wasteful use of resources, on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone.

(A) on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone

(B) on the grounds of avoiding duplicated facilities alone

(C) solely in that duplicated facilities should be avoided

(D) while the duplication of facilities should be avoided（E）

(E) if only because the duplication of facilities should be avoided

这题正确答案是E,但我觉得其他答案比如说C也没错啊,虽然E强调的是行为应该避免,而

C说重复的建筑应该避免,但C也说得通啊

if only because是个词组，这里虚拟语气表示单凭这个理由推出荒谬的结论，即作者不同意是wasteful use of resources

windcolour

if only because好像可以理解为just because.

作者应该是赞同是wasteful use of resources的吧

这道题选E的正确原因应该是句子强调的是the duplication should be avoided。但看ABC，句子主干意思是the facilities should be avoided。而D错误的原因是不能用while来引导原因。

Just a reminder, according to OG11, GMAT doesn't like "in that", stating it is over formal than "Because".
