6/25補充:
答案是A 沒錯   
p.s.

請問:

甲 Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did
乙 Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were
1.甲、乙的文法有錯嗎 如果錯該怎麼改
2.若甲乙是本題的選項 哪一個比較好?
3.以because後面的部分而言  甲和乙的句意差在哪里? (ex:時態、數量) 能不能用數學舉例

2. more可以加在形容詞、名詞前 (ex: more beautiful than.... 、I more appes than...)
但是為什麼A選項中 more + 介詞 呢?
...... refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were

答案是A吗？
甲乙语法都没错，但是乙更好些，因为Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher ，更高是一种延续至未来的趋势，说明refiners pay more 这个动作没有结束，还正在进行，否则就不会Heating-oil prices 就不会变的更高，所以用进行失态更好些。
more than 中间插入介词短语是很常见的，for  crude oil   是将pay这个动作 限定在crude oil 上，而不是别的油。
不知道你对此理解我的看法吗？
