请问下面加红色的字体,是什么意思? 无法看懂,it为何要跟inflation平行呢? 32. The Commerce Department announced that the economy grew during the second quarter at a 7.5 percent annual rate, while inflation eased when it might have been expected for it to rise.
A it might have been expected for it to rise B it might have been expected to rise C it might have been expected that it should rise D its rise might have been expected E there might have been an expectation it would rise Idiom The correct idiomatic expression is x is expected to y. In this sentence, the construction must remain idiomatic even when a different tense is used: might have been expected to rise. A For it to rise does not complete the idiomatic expression correctly B Correct. In this sentence, to rise completes the idiom correctly. C That it should rise does not complete the idiomatic expression correctly D Its rise is not parallel to inflation and introduces an awkward clause E This construction is unnecessarily wordy The correct answer is B.
