131. The Commerce Department announced that the economy grew during the second quarter at a 7.5 percent annual rate, while inflation eased when it might have been expected for it to rise.it might have been expected for it to rise
it might have been expected to rise
it might have been expected that it should rise
its rise might have been expected
there might have been an expectation it would rise
In English, x [is] expected to y is idiomatic usage: expected for it to in choice A and expected that it should in choice C are thus unidiomatic. Choice D awkwardly substitutes its rise for the pronoun it as the subject of might have been expected; since it refers to inflation, the subject of the verb eased, it is preferable as the subject of might have been expected, the verb form corresponding to eased. Choice E is needlessly wordy, roundabout, and vague. Choice B is best.
D的错误,肯定是expect X to do sth., its 的指代有没有问题呢?OG中说:

可是我在做885中,就碰到前面一个句子用的是it ,而后面的是用its,就是正确答案。
不明白啊?能讲讲吗?谢谢。
