[quote="Bunuel"]In Sweden, a non-profit association is an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit.
The intended meaning: in sweden, a non-profit association has three characteristics:
(1) an organization with at least three founders,
(2) earns no financial profit,
and (3) is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
(A) an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit
"having..." without comma is to modify the preceding noun "the public interest" => doesnot make much sense and distort the intended meaning
A out
(B) one that earns no financial profit with at least three founders and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
"with at least three founders" the placement of this modifier makes it to modify "financial profit" => distort the meaning
B out
(E) one that has at least three founders, no financial profit, and it is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
"at least three founders, no financial profit" seems to be a list of two characteristics => need "and" to link these two.
E out
C and D
(C) an organization with at least three founders, earns no financial profit, and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
perfect. no grammatical error. clear meaning. keep C
(D) one that has at least three founders, is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest, and earns no financial profit
D also has no grammatical error.
However, C is much better in terms of meaning since C clearly state that "a non-profit association is an organization with at least three founders", yes it must be an organization first, no just something has at least three founders...

In Sweden, a non-profit association is an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit.
(A) an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit
(B) one that earns no financial profit with at least three founders and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
(C) an organization with at least three founders, earns no financial profit, and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
(D) one that has at least three founders, is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest, and earns no financial profit
(E) one that has at least three founders, no financial profit, and it is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
Explanation:
The original underlined sentence is grammatically incorrect because of it's structure and meaning. It contains a misplaced modifier. The phrase 'having at least three founders and earns no financial profit' is intended to modify 'an organization,' but it is placed immediately after 'the public interest' without any punctution which creates ambiguity in the sentence.
(A) an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit
As explained above, INCORRECT
(B) one that earns no financial profit with at least three founders and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
Ambiguous use of modifier here. 'One that earns no financial profit with at least three members' changes the intended meaning completely. The phrase 'with at least three founders' is modifying the 'earns no financial profit which is wrong. INCORRECT
(C) an organization with at least three founders, earns no financial profit, and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
Though the choice uses correct order of the attributes or actions here, the parallelism is not correctly applied here. INCORRECT
(D) one that has at least three founders, is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest, and earns no financial profit
This choice uses a clear and concise structure to define what a non-profit association is in Sweden. The order in which the attributes or actions are placed makes more sense and applies parallelism correctly as well. CORRECT
(E) one that has at least three founders, no financial profit, and it is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
Not only the ordering of phrases is illogical here, also the ambiguous use of the same makes this choice wrong. Parallelism not properly applied here. INCORRECT

Bunuel
the splits are
1. an vs one :
2. List of conditions and its order
3. Parallelism
start with non-underlined words a ("a non-profit association is") so another 'an' can not be used and use of One is preferred.
