5 In 1922, when Truman was almost forty years old, he was living in his mother-in-law’s house, watching the haberdashery store he opened three years earlier go bankrupt, and he faced a future with no visible prospects.
(A) opened three years earlier go bankrupt, and he faced
(B) opened three years earlier go bankrupt and faced
(C) had opened three years earlier go bankrupt, and he was facing
(D) had opened three years earlier go bankrupt, and facing（D）
(E) was opening three years earlier going bankrupt, and facing
watch sth do sth 是固定搭配吗，总觉得go bankrupt 应该换成过去时

(B) is among the highest in the industrialized world, exceeded only by that of
(C) are among the highest in the industrialized world, only exceeded by
(D) is among the highest in the industrialized world, and exceeds only（B）

b中的rate 不应该用复数吗，those of ......,后面是好多国家呀。
想问一下，前面是单数名词，后面要表达该名词的复数概念，直接用复数代词吗？
谢谢
yes. 如果用过去时，那么句子结构有大问题了。
those of不可以，因为前面是rate, 复数的those不能指代单数的rate。
另外，我的确觉得如果用the rates of会更好些，只不过其他选项问题更多。
