131. 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.it might have been expected for it to rise it might have been expected to rise it might have been expected that it should rise its rise might have been expected there might have been an expectation it would rise In English, x [is] expected to y is idiomatic usage: expected for it to in choice A and expected that it should in choice C are thus unidiomatic. Choice D awkwardly substitutes its rise for the pronoun it as the subject of might have been expected; since it refers to inflation, the subject of the verb eased, it is preferable as the subject of might have been expected, the verb form corresponding to eased. Choice E is needlessly wordy, roundabout, and vague. Choice B is best.
D的错误，肯定是expect X to do sth., its 的指代有没有问题呢？OG中说：

its rise is not parelleled with the inflation, it is preferable to its rise. in addition, if we place back its rise and wanna find the counterparts of its rise in the first part of the sentence, then we have to say "inflation rise eased" rather than "inflation eased". that's another faulty place for D.
Choice D awkwardly substitutes its rise for the pronoun it as the subject of might have been expected; since it refers to inflation, the subject of the verb eased, it is preferable as the subject of might have been expected, the verb form corresponding to eased.
