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) if only because the duplication of facilities should be avoided

划线部分是解释了浪费的使用资源的理由。
in that = becuase
首先，d排除，while不讲理由；E， if only because排除，见所未见，生造出来的。 A，B中alone的位置不佳，表达的是单单这个理由就...
例句：The proof does not rest alone on that statement.证据不仅仅以那份证词为依据。而且可以看出alone似乎在否定句中用的多。

所以我选C。

不知道是否正确。

谢谢你噢！答案说是E  我觉得不太对..

看答案前我也选C了（因为未改变原文意思，并且比A,B好）
看了答案在思考...E是有道理的：是个IF条件句的虚拟用法，意思是“如果只考虑设施重复应该被避免这个因素的话，在这个地区建新医院是浪费资源的。（主句would是个标志）
