B. year toward the cost of higher education, for which was previously paid $7 per year

这道题确实很tricky,我结合manhattan论坛的看法,简单分析下:
B选项:for which was previously paid $7 per year定语从句结构错。
which指代higher education,代入从句得:for higher education was previously paid $7 per year。显然主语不对
A选项:逗号+previously paying这个结构修饰前面句子的主语,而不是修饰相邻的the cost of higher education,不合句意。
C选项:1、previously是副词,不能修饰7刀这个名词。2、compared to左右的比较对象不平行,最好改成compared to a contribution of。。。
