I initially picked up C as the An, but wrong , then altered to A, guessed , not right again .....the CORRECR is E ......why ?? It makes nonsense to me ........

我觉得A和B的alone用得不好，因为alone变成修饰前面的名词了，而句子的意思应该是修饰整个句子，即这个原因的
C也不好，因为它的主语变成了facilities，而facilities是不可以被避免的，逻辑关系不对，应该是duplication 被avoided

这道题如从三方面加以综合考虑，则做题巨快也！！！
一是alone的修饰成分——修饰整个句子；
二是优先级关系：avoid >avoidance>avoiding；
三是Duplicate充当“免”逻辑对象；
四是商业用语，in that 是口语化。

不过，这道题实在
