State officials report that soaring rates of liability insurance have risen to force cutbacks in the operations of everything from local governments and school districts to day-care centers and recreational facilities. (A) rates of liability insurance have risen to force
(B) rates of liability insurance are a force for
(C) rates for liability insurance are forcing
(D) rises in liability insurance rates are forcing(C)
这题两个考点,1.语义重复 2.最直接表述 1.划线前的soaring就有rise的意思,表示剧烈rise,所以划线内容不应该再有rise之类的词出现了,排除三个选项,剩下B和C 2.a force for不如are forcing来得直接,表示soaring rates直接导致cutbacks a force for cutbacks意思是对cutbacks来说是一股推动力,没有表达出直接的因果关系,因此排除B,选C
