look at the underlined part and you see infinitive "to turn" thus choose the answer || to that infinitive.
B and E survive
E interrupst ||sm by omitting "to" as other infinitives
"putting the news coverage into perspective" is a modifying phrase and B survives

Answer: (2)putting the news coverage into perspective, to avoid
This sentence requires ||ism.
"to discuss"
"to avoid"
putting is necessary.. otherwise should be "to put".
Therefore (2).
