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. a. it might have been expected for it to rise b. it might have been expected to rise c. it might have been expected that it should rise d. its rise might have been expected e. there might have been an expectation it would rise
根据OG的解释: D的错误主要是和 inflation eased 这个语句的无法构成平衡: 主语 inflation - its rises 谓语 eased - might have been expected 在ETS看来,这样的搭配是 awkward,因为它崇尚并列结构的平衡
