on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone
on the grounds of avoiding duplicated facilities alone
solely in that duplicated facilities should be avoided
while the duplication of facilities should be avoided
if only because the duplication of facilities should be avoided
题目分析：
略。
选项分析：
A选项：名词短语avoidance of duplicated facilities alone应改为从句the duplication of facilities should be avoided，这点考查了名词和从句的区别。用之于本题，由于主句Building large new hospitals in the bistate area would constitute a wasteful use of resources是处于虚拟状态的（虚拟助动词would），因此，其基于的原因也应该处于一种假设中。因此，avoid这个动作没有时间终止点（都不一定开始，何谈终止）。
另外，duplicated facilities应改为the duplication of facilities。此两者的核心词不同。在逻辑上，避免的应该是设施的重复建设这一行为，而不是设施本身。
B选项：avoiding宾语duplicated facilities的核心词错误同选项(A)。
C选项：duplicated facilities的核心词错误同选项(A)。
D选项：连词有误。While连接的两个句子应该是“同时”或者“转折”关系，但本题中的两个句子是“因果”或者“如果仅仅因为”关系，不能用连词while。
E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。if only because的意思是：如果仅仅因为。
本题主句的would表示未来不可能发生，建造一座新医院默认为是不会发生的事情。后面的“设施的重复可以被避免”与主句有逻辑关系，主句假设不会发生，那么从句也是假设不会发生的状态。不会发生的事情看不到终点，不用名词，用ing或从句。
if did/were to, then would
if had done, then would have
if should, then would
only
because I've gotten into the habit. = I do the cleaning for no really good reason. I do not do the cleaning because the floor is necessarily dirty, for example. Maybe IF I do the cleaning, the real reason is ONLY/simply/just BECAUSE I'm in the habit of doing so, whether the floor is dirty or not.
alone是不是修饰了duplicated？
on the basis of和on the grounds of不能表示主句的原因
如果仅仅因为要避免重复建设设施，那么跨州设医院会浪费资源登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
ABC的核心词都是facilities
DE的核心词是duplication
显然根据句意，浪费资源的只能是duplication of facilities而不是duplicated facilities （这个区别比较小，但是推敲一下肯定是前者的逻辑语义更好一点）
然后就是if only because和while的split：while是有同时或者转折显然有点怪怪的
A's modifier has multiple prepositional phrases in a row. That's often a warning sign on this test - the GMAT writers generally prefer to avoid 3+ prepositional phrases in a row.
The placement of the word "alone" also is a bit problematic.
