Most of Portugal’s 250,000 university students boycotted classes in a one-day strike to protest a law that requires them to contribute $330 a year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year.

A. year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year

B. year toward the cost of higher education, for which was previously paid $7 per year

C. year, compared to the previously $7 per year, toward the cost of higher education

D. year toward the cost of higher education, instead of the $7 per year required previously

E. year as opposed to the $7 per year required previously for the cost of higher education］

答案是d
我选的是b b为什么错了呢
不知道这道题的考点在哪儿

这道题确实很tricky，我结合manhattan论坛的看法，简单分析下：
B选项：for which was previously paid $7 per year定语从句结构错。
which指代higher education，代入从句得：for higher education  was previously paid $7 per year。显然主语不对

A选项：逗号+previously paying这个结构修饰前面句子的主语，而不是修饰相邻的the cost of higher education，不合句意。

C选项：1、previously是副词，不能修饰7刀这个名词。2、compared to左右的比较对象不平行，最好改成compared to a contribution of。。。

E选项：as opposed to结构不能表示比较。

b 选项是错在for吗
如果没有for是不是就是正确的呢

B是错在 for which上，for which修饰高等教育导致歧义。for which应该修饰cost就对了. ...

?感觉不是很说得通呢
高等教育不能被paid？
如果for which 修饰cost正确， 那么代入就成了
for the cost of higher education was previously paid 7 per year
这里for是不是多余了呢

没有for也不对啊，定语从句还是不合逻辑。

RIGHT：You paid 7 dollars for sth.
RIGHT：7 dollars was paid for sth by you.
WRONG：sth was paid for 7 dollars.

RIGHT：You paid 7 dollars for sth.

for如果这样的话可以提前吗？

你是说改成：sth for which 7 dollars was paid？
语法上来说应该可以。
