SC Alaska

[thanghnvn]

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

oa is C

this question is mentioned already in the discussion of other problem. I want to discuss this separately

Why A is wrong?

because "with the intention to do" is wordy. "to stustain" is enough and there is no need "with the intention" . one problem

the second problem is that "with the intention to sustain" refers to "Alaska" . This meaning is different from meaning in choice C. But this meaning in choice A is still logic

normally, on SC, we can use common sense to justify which meaning is more logic. but in this case, I see both meaings represented by A and C are logic. the main issue with A is the wordiness.

why A is wrong? pls, explain

[tim]

"with the intention" certainly doesn't modify "Alaska" as you claim, but it just as certainly doesn't modify "fund", which means answer choice A fails to support the idea of the fund sustaining the state's economy (which is clearly the intent of the sentence).
