请教一道语法题

xd2008

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，这道题都怎么排除……

serendipityh

contribute to/towards  排除E, as opposed to 是与...相反
compare to 是 把...比作...( 把皮球比作苹果)C out
A 不能用paying 分词结尾, 伴随结果成分都不对劲,
B higher education 应该是泛指概念, which 特指,
而且for which was previously paid $7 per year 我觉得这样更好
for which $7 per year was paid previously
但是即使改了也不对, 文中是比较. 而不是特指.
等楼下的同学看看他们还有看法没?
