12. Formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do

not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do

to established big businesses, because they are growing and

are seldom in equilibrium.

(A)  Formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do

not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do

to established big businesses, because they are growing and

are seldom in equilibrium.

(B)   Because they are growing and are seldom in

equilibrium, formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to

equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same

way as they do to established big businesses.

(C)  Because they are growing and are seldom in

equilibrium, new small businesses are not subject to the

same applicability of formulas for cash flow and the ratio

of debt to equity as established big businesses.

(D)  Because new small businesses are growing and are

seldom in equilibrium, formulas for cash flow and the ratio

of debt to equity do not apply to them in the same way as

to established big businesses.

(E)   New small businesses are not subject to the

applicability of formulas for cash flow and the ratio of

debt to equity in the same way as established big

businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in

equilibrium.

OG解释说，In C and E, are is preferable either before or after established big business to complete the comparison.

它的意思是不是说要在C、E选项中的established big business 之前或之后加上are 就正确了呢？

答案c, e加上是要加are才完整，但是这两个答案中的subject to the same applicability of的表达不对。不符合习惯。
