'To investigate' is preferred to 'for investigating' on the GMAT. Avoid –ing as much as possible. A – 'That' needs to be replaced with 'who' since 'That' cannot be used to refer to a person (batsman). Past tense 'Fled' is not parallel with Present tense 'has applied'. B - 'To investigate' is preferred to 'for investigating' on the GMAT. Avoid '–ing' as much as possible. C – 'having fled' is an incorrect modifier and distorts the meaning of the sentence E - 'To investigate' is preferred to 'for investigating' on the GMAT. Past tense 'Fled' is not parallel with Present continuous 'is applying'
