谢谢各位，我明白了。这个题是 OG Verbal SC 72题
D. rises in liability insurance rates are forcing
E.liability insurance rates have risen to force.
解释：
A. For should be used following rate; of is misleading. Have risen is redundant.
B For should be used following rates; of is misleading. The wordy construction are a force for is not nearly as clear as the more concise are forcing.
C. Correct. The sentence is concise and uses the appropriate preposition following rates, and the present progressive verb tense makes it clear that this is an ongoing situation.
D. Rises is used unidiomatically and adds nothing to the idea already expressed in the adjective soaring.
E. Have risen adds nothing to the idea expressed in the adjective soaring.
