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
In choices A and B, rates of is incorrect; when rates means “prices charged,” it should be followed by for. Also in B, are a force for does not accurately convey the meaning that the soaring rates are actually forcing cutbacks in the present. In A and E, it is redundant to say that soaring rates have risen. Similarly, the word rises makes D redundant. C, the best choice, is idiomatic and concise, and it correctly uses the progressive verb form are forcing to indicate an ongoing situation
对于:rate of 和rate for 还是不是很明白,谁有比较清楚的解释?
谢先了
rate:
1. 费用 + for
2. 比率 + of
LES的完全正确
请问NN, 从题目什么地方可以判断出 the soaring rates are actually forcing cutbacks in the present ?

我的问题是为什么(B) rates of liability insurance are a force for 不对，而要选 are forcing
是因为soaring暗示要用进行时吗？
billion,
yes 因為"soaring" 所以要用 progressive tense
感谢 Master LES!

force作n.是力量，影响力；作v. 迫使，综合原文，n变v意思就改变了
文意：飙升的保险迫使降价
are a force: 降价的一个影响力
我也查了longman里面没有rate for的用法阿~~估计是ETS自立的~~hehe
rate:
1. 费用 + for
2. 比率 + of
soaring rates of liability insurance 为什么可以理解成费用而不是比率？
看看
Longman:
There is a fixed rate for the job, regardless of how long it takes.
£150 is the going rate for tickets for the concert.
What's the hourly rate for cleaning?
$20 an hour is the going rate (=the usual amount paid) for private tuition.
There is a fixed rate for the job, regardless of how long it takes.
我认为这题里是固定/习惯搭配。
▶MONEY◀费用里也有用of的
a charge or payment that is set according to a standard scale
They only pay tax at a rate of 5%.
Nurses are demanding higher rates of pay.
Some hotels offer special rates for children.
What's the hourly rate for cleaning?
$20 an hour is the going rate (=the usual amount paid) for private tuition.
我觉得rate 做...的费用讲的时候， 多跟for,
但当rate表明具体的数字和所有格形式，比率的时候，就用of , 如17楼的例子和OG紫色67。
They only pay tax at a rate of 5%.
Nurses are demanding higher rates of pay.
67． Ms．Chambers is among the forecasters who predict that the rate of addition to arable lands will drop while those of loss rise．
(A) those of loss rise
(B) it rises for loss
(C) those of losses rise
(D) the rate of loss rises
(E) there are rises for the rate of loss （D).
soaring rates of liability insurance 为什么可以理解成费用而不是比率？
我也想问这题应该怎么看出来是 费用 而不是 这个保险的 比率 呢？
