The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade
A.        The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.
B.        It is estimated that by the end of the decade the cost to the United States petroleum industry of meeting environmental regulations will be ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.

E.        The United States petroleum industry’s cost by the end of the decade to meet environmental regulations is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.
1这个题目我排除ABC用了 名词A of B 优于 A‘s B（我认为A‘s B只能用于A是人的时候） ，可以这么排除么
2 DE差别在哪，有人说D逻辑有问题，有人说D没有用将来时，我感觉D的逻辑说的过去啊


选B。
cost to sb表示承受cost的人，cost of doing表示造成cost的事。排除AE
by the end of the decade不能修饰price of refined petroleum，因为这样就是说估计了一个cost，而这个cost取决于未来的某一价格。排除AD。
to meet表目的，不能说我们为了meet regulation估计了cost，应该是regulation造成了cost 。排除D。
By the end of the decade限定未来的时间，那么is projected时态错误。排除C。

答案是E
the cost to sb/sth 表示。。。所付出的成本、费用
the cost of sth 表示。。。的费用，成本
the cost to sb of doing sth  某人做某事所付出的费用，代价
根据以上排除A B
C选项：RON说by the end of the decade修饰 is projected，doesn't make sense。according to the modifier, then, the PROJECTION will occur by the end of the decade. that's not the intended meaning (the sentence is clearly meant to say that the projection is being made right now, but that the cost will be at level X by the end of the decade).
D修饰的逻辑错误同C
