(E) 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.
Choice A, B, C, and D are awkward and confusing. In A, for example, the issue is not the industry’s cost but the cost to the industry; also, to meet should be of meeting here, projected at is unidiomatic, and by the end of the decade is placed so that its meaning is unclear. B and C suffer from many of the same problems. The wording of D implies that cost… is estimated in order to meet environmental regulations. E alone makes a logical statement and varies verb tense to indicate that the issue is present estimates of future costs. The question is moderately difficult.
this is one exercise in OG.
but the explaination in OG does not make sense to me about B sometimes really feel bad if u find out u dont agree with OG since u have to follow it
