Sorry am not understanding your insistence on a comma before profiting, for profiting to be a participle. The intended parallelism in C is between hoping and profiting, both of which act as present participles.
A simple example:
Peter was determined to lose his weight, dieting religiously and exercising rigorously.
Notice that the comma before exercising is implied (since there is a comma before dieting).
This kind of a usage is quite common. Another official GMAT SC:
The hognose snake puts on an impressive bluff, hissing and rearing back, broadening the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does and feigning repeated strikes, but it has no dangerous fangs and no venom, and eventually, if its pursuer is not cowered by the performance, will fall over and play dead.
Quote:
Really wouldn't bother about it. This is a parallelism (meaning-related) question and should be dealt with, as such.

(A) by using the company's earnings and to profit
This just has one flaw of the wrong usage of company 's that's isn't appropriate
(B) by using the companies' earnings and by profiting
This final profit is not procured by companies earning but rather the profit margin earned through reselling it
(C) using the companies' earnings and profiting
This has a similar meaning as proposed in B
(D) with the company's earnings, profiting
exact reasoning flaw as B along with the error sited in A
(E) with the companies' earnings and to profit
Yes this fixes the ambigious meaning error as well as the company error
Hence IMO E

In a leveraged buyout, investors borrow huge sums of money to buy companies, hoping to pay off the debt by using the company's earnings and to profit richly by the later resale of the companies or their divisions.
Since companies (plural) is used earlier in the sentence, we need to maintain that form later in the sentence by using 'the companies' earnings'.
That's the main error with choice A. I don't think 'by using' is necessarily wrong, but we have a clear error in 'company's earnings'.
Answer is E.

Can someone please tell me if adjective can modify the ''Ing'' form of noun. Such as in below question can ''richly'' modify ''profiting'' or it can only modify ''profit''?
