B. being converted to cooperative ownership is whether they should be signing
C. being converted to cooperative ownership is whether or not they sign
D. conversion to cooperative ownership is if to sign
E. conversion to cooperative ownership is whether to sign
1, 简洁：（一级排除 A,B,C） the phrase being converted is awkward and redundant, since the sense of process indicated by being has already been conveyed by undergoing.
2. 词法：(二级排除 D ) 表示是否用 whether, 表示条件用if 及物动词 名词的形式 比 分词的形式更加合理。uses the noun conversion, which grammatically completes the phrase begun by undergoing. undergo及物动词. 不能接分词.
3. 并列结构： A is B， A/B 平行。 ==》 不定式可以作为名词性结构和名词平行。 The first decision 。。。 is whether to ….. to sign, that functions as a noun equivalent of decision 并列处处有!!!!系表结构是并列!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

C,E的将来时态不对, 排除 B的for being不对: for要么是目的关系, 要么是因果关系 for being 的意思是因为MARS是blablabla, 偶们才认识这个星球.---有点离谱 只有to be才是a planet的等价物!!!是名词性质!!! 里面的do又是动词 绝对比动名词being/doing好百倍 For being, as being都是介词短语, 不是名词性质的等价物!!! D的that is多余, 不对
