40: GWD-29-Q29

Most of Portugal’s 250,000 university
students boycotted classes in a one-day strike to protest a law that requires
them to contribute $330 a
year
toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year.

A.
year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying
$7 per year

B.
year toward the cost of higher education, for which was
previously paid $7 per year

C.
year, compared to the previously $7 per year, toward the
cost of higher education

D.
year toward the cost of higher education, instead of the $7
per year required previously

E.
year as opposed to the $7 per year required previously for
the cost of higher education

contribute towards/to一个意思。

没有oppose
to这种用法，oppose sth.而且原句中没有oppose的意思。

D比较简洁，意思表达也清楚。

如果加了逗号，如C，句子不完整。

问题：instead
of 后面接的东东是不是长了点，不是只能接名词吗？A的paying问题在哪里，虽然感觉不对，但是说不明白？如果是paid对吗？

谢谢~~

instead后面始终只有一个核心:the $7 per year，所以没有问题.
paying放在句尾做伴随状语，逻辑主语是law.
pay the cost $7 per year才是正确搭配.所以不能用paid.

paid不能就进修饰education吗？表示education的价格。就像这个句子：

The amount paid to
the electric company might vary from check to check, but it probably stays
within 10 or 20% of the last check written to them.

The amount paid to the electric company

umm...如果我没有理解错,这个句子里amount才是paid的对象.也即$7 per year才能被paid，而不是higher education.主要是得留意如果用paid，paid是后置定语，而不是实义动词.
