391. A, B, and D are all out because "their" is ambiguous--it could refer to analgesics, disturbances, or patients.
C creates an unclear modifier--"which" most naturally attaches to the closest noun "patients." But the modifying phrase "which may limit. . ." is meant to describe not the patients, but the disturbances.
E avoids trouble with either pronouns or modification, even though it is rather wordy.
As for 378, this really looks to me like it should be B. A, C, and D all contain an illogical comparison between, on the one hand, "feudal Europe," and, on the other hand, "homesteading policies." E goes wrong because it misplaces "in feudal Europe," which should describe the entire first clause of the sentence, not just "countryside."

371. I don't like the OA. It seems we are comparing unlike things here in D.
391. Elim ABC right away for incorrect usage of which.
D: incorrect because their is ambigious.
E: is longer but avoid the ambiguity.

I think there are some mistakes in B. According to me, the corrected B should be: (B) In feudal Europe, urban areas developed from clusters of houses where peasants lived and from WHERE[[strike]which[/strike]] they commuted to farmlands in the countryside, but in the American West , homesteading policies Please comment.

Their perfectly refers to people. the correct idiom is potential ~ (for / for doing sth) the possibility of sth happening or being developed or used: the potential for change * The European marketplace offers excellent potential for increasing sales. (Oxfrod Dictionary) So D is out. Noboru, did you spot in A,B,C ". ...people , which...." this is plainly wrong. people who and not which or that.
