Help, XDF-S8-5 use of phrases "轮流"?



5. The original building and loan associations were organized as limited life funds, whose members made monthly payments on their share subscriptions, then taking turns drawing on the funds for home mortgages.
(A) subscriptions, then taking turns drawing
(B) subscriptions, and then taking turns drawing
(C) subscriptions and then took turns drawing
(D) subscriptions and then took turns, they drew
(E) subscriptions and then drew, taking turns.


I know the answer should be C.

But I'm not sure about how to put English phrases "轮流"in the English sentence "某人轮流做某事"

Attention, the following sentences may need some change to be correct , I'm not sure and put them here for your help.


eg.
1
Taking turns, Members draw on funds.
2
Members take turns drawing on funds.
3
Members take turns to draw on funds.
4
Members, taking turns, draw on funds.
5
Members draw, taking turns, on funds.
6
Members draw on funds, taking turns.

7
By turns, members draw on funds.
8
Members by turns draw on funds.
9
Members, by turns, draw on funds.
10
Members draw, by turns, on funds.
11
Members draw on funds by turns.
12
Members draw on funds, by turns.

13
In turn, members draw on funds.
14
Members in turn draw on funds.
15
Members, in turn, draw on funds.
16
Members draw, in turn, on funds.
17
Members draw on funds in turn.
18
Members draw on funds, in turn.

19
(any other correct one)

Can any NN help choose or give the correct one and explain why?

Thanks in advance.

I believe the following two forms are idiomatic:
e.g.
1、My sister and I take turns (at) washing dishes after supper.

2、The applicants of this job entered the interview room in turn.

so among the examples you provided above, i think 1、2、4、13、15、18 might be correct and others contain one or more errors.

but what about the use of the phrase "by turns"?

and I think 3,17 is also ok,and 18 is (?)

looking forward to your discussion.

Thanks in advance.

The difference between "take turns to do " and "take turns doing"
is just the difference between "to do" and "doing".

As to "by turns", look it up through the dictionary , you will get it.
eg.
The book is by turns pedantic, delightful and infriatiing.

wlcome discussion.
