(A) the annual cost to the
(B) the annual cost of illiteracy to the
(C) illiteracy costs the
(D) $20 billion a year in lost industrial output and tax revenues is the annual cost to the
(E)lost industrial output and tax revenues cost the
In choices A, B, and D, the combined use of annual and a year is redundant. Choices A, D, and E are awkward and confused because other constructions intrude within the phrase cost... of illiteracy: for greatest clarity, cost should be followed immediately by a phrase (e.g., of illiteracy ) that identifies the nature of the cost. Choice E is particularly garbled in reversing cause and effect, saying that it is lost output and revenues rather than illiteracy that costs the
这题的B答案，如果没有前面的annual是不是就对了？
还有一个问题顺便请教
be credited with和credit to里面，是不是前者的credited是形容词，后者的是动词，所以后面更的介词不同呢？

这题的B答案，如果没有前面的annual是不是就对了？
OG写得很清楚in/because of的区别；此外，the cost of illitercy不及动词表达明确，动词强调了因果关系，而名次结构无法表达这种关系。所以，即便B的阿annual去掉，也不对。
还有一个问题顺便请教
be credited with和credit to里面，是不是前者的credited是形容词，后者的是动词，所以后面更的介词不同呢？
credit和with/to连用，可以作动词，也可以作形容词。
比如be credit with/to doing 作形容词
credit A with/to B 作动词
cost of sth 和cost to sb都有这样的用法，对于本题，cost to sb of sth OG里说不对了，那么B选项中cost of sth to sb对吗？
没有查到cost to sb, 字典中只有 at a cost to sb,
我想这个应该是对的吧：at a (cost of sth) to sb
我对E的解释好象不是很清楚
OG说混淆了因果关系
我觉得也解释的通,
因为lost industrial output and tax revenues 花费了US 200亿 这个LOST 是由文盲引起的
请问我上面的理解错在哪里呢
题目要表达的意思是: 文盲使美国损失$20billion一年, 而这些损失主要体现在工业产出流失和税收减少上.
但E把原文意思改变成: 工业产出流失和税收减少使美国损失$20billion一年
有一个疑问：
OG里说：Choices A, D, and E are awkward and confused because other constructions intrude within the phrase cost... of illiteracy: for greatest clarity, cost should be followed immediately by a phrase (e.g., of illiteracy ) that identifies the nature of the cost
可是在大全840中的正确答案却有出入：
大全840. The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.
(A) The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.
(B) The United States petroleum industry’s cost by the end of the decade to meet environmental regulations is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.
(C) By the end of the decade, the United States petroleum industry’s cost of meeting environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.
(D) To meet environmental regulations, the cost to the United States petroleum industry is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.（E）
(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.
请教这是什么回事呢？
就是呀！照OG的解释，那么the cost of meeting environmental regulations to the United States petroleum industry 岂不更好？
up
我有不懂為什麼the cost of可以插入to the United States petroleum industry
還有我覺得A挺好的
不對的原因在於被動嗎??

请问上面黄色部分是什么意思？哪位帮忙解释一下？谢谢！
选项a,d,e是笨拙而混乱的因为在cost和 of illiteracy加入了其他成分:为达到清晰最大化的目的,cost后面应立即跟着一个词组(比如of illiteracy)来鉴别cost的性质
想请问一下COST得用法！
不知道cost to 还是 cost of 更好。 谢谢
cost of sth 和cost to sb都有这样的用法，对于本题，cost to sb of sth OG里说不对了，那么B选项中cost of sth to sb对吗？
對 解釋裡面說的of誰要立即放在cost後面 不然會有歧異
就像是AD-->會讓人以為是文盲的美國
请问一下,是不是在句中随意加上关系连词,如because 或because of 等,会改变句子的原意呢?
如本题的B/E,而OG中的解释也说E是"distorts meaning".
请教NN啊
自己顶一下，请牛牛解答啊！

这题的B答案，如果没有前面的annual是不是就对了？
lost(adj), industrial output(noun), tax revenues(noun).
good luck..
这里的illiteracy应该理解为“书写错误”，不是理解为“文盲”吧。这样的话句子意思顺多了。
有NN吧B解释清楚点吗？不伽annual应该是对的吧？
It is estimated that by the end of the decade the cost to the
我觉得还是遵循了介词修饰对象不能引起歧义的原则。
如果换成：It is estimated that by the end of the decade the cost of meeting environmental regulations
to the
will be ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum. 因为to介词短语和cost的关系并不紧密，所以可能会造成当状语歧义，然后句子变成：It is estimated that by the end of the decade the cost of meeting environmental regulations
will be ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum to the
但是如果把 to the United States petroleum industry封闭在cost of当中，那么to明确修饰cost。
但是在OG110中，It has been estimated that the annual cost to the
