( The rising of costs ) of data-processing operations at many financial insititutions has created a growing opportunity for independent companies to provide these services more efficiently and at lower cost.
A. The rising of costs
B. Rising costs
C. The rising cost
D. Because the rising cost
E. Because of rising cost
D E 没有主语,排除。谓语是单数,B 排除。A是成本的上升,C是上升的成本,句意是创造了更多的机会去提供服务。感觉意思都说的过去,纠结好久。答案是C。做题时没有关注到后面的 at lower cost,不知道这里和前面的cost有没有关系,是否可以根据这里把A排除?麻烦老师讲解。
曼哈顿里的例句
A hard worker and loyal team player, the new project was managed by Sue.
书上说的是前面的modifier会错误修饰project,但平时阅读的时候读到这个是能够判断这个修饰语是不会用来修饰project的,会对阅读产生阻碍但不会令人误解。因此想问Gmat语法中这种例子是绝对不对还是不优呢。
