216. At the beginning of the year, the city allocated $150 million to cover the increase in wages that it expected to approve as a result of negotiations with the municipal labor unions. (A) increase in wages that it expected to approve as a result of negotiations (B) increased wages it expected to approve from negotiations (C) increasing wages expected to be approved as a result of negotiating (D) negotiated increases in wages it expected to approve (E) increases expected to be approved in wages from negotiating 答案未A 但是that it expected to approve as a result of negotiations这个从句修饰的又是词呢，从语法看应该是wage，但是我觉得修饰increased wages将更为合理，所以选择了B
At the beginning of the year, the city allocated $150 million to cover the increase in wages that it expected to approve as a result of negotiations with the municipal labor unions.
the word "COVER" here means "to have enough money to pay for sth", and "it" here refers to "the increase in wages " So the $150 million paied by the city is not for "the increased wages" but for "the increase in wages".
