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 (E) liability insurance rates have risen to force
I know the answer should be C
But I'm not sure about the meaning and usage of the two phrases "rate of " v.s. "rate for ?
Can any NN help tell the difference?
Thanks in advance.
