Spain’s governing coalition has come under strain as it pushes its painful austerity measures, and it must now enforce agreed-upon measures, laying off 4,000 civil servants by the end of August, which will push forward a stalled project to privatize state assets.

A. Usage of which is incorrect. Which cannot modify an action
B. 'coming under' is awkward. The cause effect relationship is better conveyed using past perfect. Has come under strain and therefore actions are required
C. No major issues. Clearly shows both the agreed upon measures. Only suboptimality is that it doesnt say that laying off would be a cause to effect of pushing forward plan of privatisation. Keep
D. Bad choice. Misses main verb for subject
E. This one is slightly tricky to eliminate but becomes much clearer if focus is set to the meaning of the sentence. Laying off is an agreed upon measure, not another action in parallel with agreed upon measures. This is definite because we dont know how agreed upon measures will lead to privatization.
C is correct.

VERITAS PREP OFFICIAL SOLUTION:
This time consuming problem is primarily concerned with overall sentence construction.
Only (C) has a coherent and logical structure: “The coalition, which has been facing this, must now enforce measures, laying off these people and pushing forward this project” The “which” clause in the middle is properly used to modify the coalition and the two “-ing” phrases at the end are parallel and properly modify the coalition and how it must enforce the measures.
In (A), the “which” clause has nothing to logically modify and is thus incorrect.
In (B), the phrase “pushing forward a stalled project to privatize state assets” cannot be logically linked to the verb clause “lay off 4,000 civil servants” Laying off 4,000 civil servants has nothing to do with pushing forward a stalled project to privatize state assets. Those must be two separate modifying phrases relating to how the coalition must enforce the measures.
In (D), the subject “Spain’s governing coalition” has no verb to follow it anywhere in the sentence.
(E) suffers from the same flaw as (B) and the semicolon disconnects two things that should be linked in one sentence.
Answer is (C)
