请问：

13.   State officials report that soaring rates of liability insurance have risen to force cutbacks in the operations of everything from local governments and school districts to day-care centers and recreational facilities.

(A) rates of liability insurance have risen to force

(B) rates of liability insurance are a force for

(C) rates for liability insurance are forcing

(D) rises in liability insurance rates are forcing（C）

(E) liability insurance rates have risen to force

虽然这里因为对FOR和OF的选择就可以选了C，我还是想问一下OG中的这句，In A and E, it is redundant to say that soaring rates have risen.     为什么选ARE FORCING 要比HAVE FORCING 好呢？一个报告也可以是报道一个已经发生了的事呀？

15.   In his research paper, Dr. Frosh, medical director of the Payne Whitney Clinic, distinguishes mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis.

(A) mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(B) mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis,

(C) between mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(D) between mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis（C）

(E) genuine manic-depressive psychosis and mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease

         对于这句The best choice is C because it uses the idiomatically correct expression distinguishes between x and y and because it provides a structure in which the relative clause

又一点不明白。查了一下字典，DISTINGUISH  A  FROM   B也是对得呀？要是A选项中，without their being grounded   的THEIR除掉，是不是这个选项也是对的呢？

谢谢先。

13、In A and E, it is redundant to say that soaring rates have risen. 其中的redundant是soaring和risen意思重复。

15、A中“without their being grounded   的THEIR除掉”也不是正确答案。

sth. distinguish A from B 某事物使得A有别于B；

sb. distinguish between A and B. 某人分辩A和B的区别~~~

查字典时，举的例子都是用的IT IS HARD TO DISTINGUISH...之类的形式主语的例句，没想到是这样的不同。谢谢你啦。

(D) between mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis。。。

the modifier of mood swings in B and D (perhaps violent) is awkward and less clear than the more developed clause which may be violent.

请问是不是所有的noun + ，+  adjective 。。。+ ，

红色的部分都会是不符合ets要求的？

不是，这里不符合ets要求是因为书面语很少用perhaps，而且情态动词一般都不能取消和改变（除非不符合语法或逻辑），所以这里是错在用perhaps代替may be。

A 如果把their去掉就应该对了,因为主语是人Dr.Frosh  distinguishes
