GWD-31-Q30

The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade







A.
The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.



B.
It is estimated that by the end of the decade the cost to the United States petroleum industry of meeting environmental regulations will be ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.



C.
By the end of the decade, the United States petroleum industry’s cost of meeting environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.



D.
To meet environmental regulations, the cost to the United States petroleum industry is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.



E.
The United States petroleum industry’s cost by the end of the decade to meet environmental regulations is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.

答案:B。请问下这道题C有什么语法错误吗?B读起来确实很顺口,但是B把原句中的projected换成了estimated,实意动词都能换,这是为什么呢?请nn多多指教!

查了前人的帖子,知道cost to sb.of doing sth.是个固定搭配。而且B选项的cost用的是动词形式,而C用的是名词形式,从这点上考虑B比C好。而且B避免了头重脚轻的句子结构。但是我实在不明白的是B怎么可以把projected换成了estimated的呢?请nn多多指教!

我觉得这个题除了B外,其他选项的修饰都有问题。
meet environmental 是修饰industry 的而不是修饰cost。

我觉得,首先cost作名词,没有the cost to do sth 的用法,其次the cost to US不等于US's cost,除非是of 短语,否则,不能把A prep B 改写为B'A的形式,见曼哈顿语法部分的解释~~

同问啊 为什么可以把project改成 estimate 不是说忠于原意最重要吗?
另外D为什么不对呢?有什么错误?
