Accepting the proposed constitutional amendment would be a poor decision for the Supreme Court to take, on the basis of avoidance of expanded executive power alone.
(A) on the basis of avoidance of expanded executive power alone
(B) on the grounds of avoiding expanded executive power alone
(C) solely in that, the expansion of executive power should be avoided
(D) if only because the expansion of executive power should be avoided
(E) while the expansion of executive power should be avoided
The intended meaning: if the reason were only to avoid the expansion of executive power, accepting the proposed constitutional amendment would be a poor decision for the Supreme Court to take.
Thus regarding meaning, use "while" will distort the meaning -> E out
To state "reason for sth", we dont use "on the basis of", "solely in that" -> A,C out
(in that is more like "in some aspects")
B and D. B is better.
on the grounds of is unidiomatic. (Also I think "expansion" is better than "expanded" since we are talking about the future, the executive power might already be expanded but we want to avoid the expansion in the future.)
B = if (it were) only because the expansion of executive power should be avoided

C) solely in that, the expansion of executive power should be avoided
it is given that court took poor decision and its only reason should be something. That meaning is clearly implied by c

Accepting the proposed constitutional amendment would be a poor decision for the Supreme Court to take, on the basis of avoidance of expanded executive power alone.
Meaning analysis: Accepting the proposed constitutional amendment would be a poor decision for the Supreme Court to take. now after this part in the sentence I am expecting that sentence should provide me the why of above thats when though that sentence wants to convey will be complete. the reason that sentence gives for the poor decision is that we should avoid the expansion of execute power.
(A) on the basis of avoidance of expanded executive power alone => on the basis of avoidance of this conveys wrong meaning and construction is also wrong here
(B) on the grounds of avoiding expanded executive power alone => here also the meaning conveyed is wrong it says the decision is poor because on the ground of avoiding the expanded the executive power. here power is already expanded so the wrong ans
(C) solely in that, the expansion of executive power should be avoided => here use of in that after soley is wrong in that is used to show something is part of something internally so this is wrong.
(D) if only because the expansion of executive power should be avoided => here it correctly conveys the reason why decision is poor and use of if.. because in the sentence properly conveys cause-effect relation. so this is the ans
(E) while the expansion of executive power should be avoided => while conveys wrong context of flow and meaning here so not the ans
so the ans is option D
