       Because Halley’s comet changes orbit slightly during the seventy-six-year interval between passing close to Earth, it may veer onto a collision course with a planet sometime in the distant future.
(A) between passing
(B) of passing
(C) between its passes
(D) of its passes
(E) as it passes
      这题目可能是我没理解句子，我选E，但我不知道该选哪个，能解释一下吗？

       At the beginning of the year, the city allocated $150 million to cover the increase in wages that it expected to approve as a result of negotiations with the municipal labor unions.
(A) increase in wages that it expected to approve as a result of negotiations
(B) increased wages it expected to approve from negotiations
       这里B为什么错？？除了increased wages 以外

E.
A/C "between". the words "during" and "interval" have already expressed the meaning of "between"
B/D prep "of" requires a noun. B lacks a subject.
