66. The Federal Reserve Board's reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgment of past economic trends and an effort to influence their future direction.

(A) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgment of past economic trends and an effort

(B) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgment both of past economic trends as well as an effort

(C) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends and attempt

(D) reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgment both of past economic trends and an effort

(E) reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends as well as attempt

OG11给的E的解释中说the subject and verb do not agree。

我有点不理解。为什么？主语不是interest rates 吗？为什么谓语动词要用单数呢？

请教xdjm们 谢谢了

The Federal Reserve Board's reduction 是主语

谢谢楼上MM的解释，我是想说如果选择E的话，The Federal Reserve Board's reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends as well as attempt to influence their future direction。那此句的主语是不是interest rates ？如果是的话，后面的谓语动词不是应该用一般式吗？

谢谢~~

这样的话就是REDUCING INTEREST RATES是主语了, 动名词做主语, 应该是单数, 而且考试中, 应该名词形式做主语优先于动名词
