B.heavily were what accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year; the remainder of the increase coming

C.heavily accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of the increase coming

D.heavily, accounting for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, while the remainder of the increase came

E.heavily, which accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, with the remainder of it coming

同问
D 错在哪呢?

我再看了下,好像确实应该C是对的

A.heavily accounts for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of which came
which指代不明确,两个句子中间没有连词

B.heavily were what accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year; the remainder of the increase coming
分号表示两个句子,第二个句子没有动词

C.heavily accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of the increase coming

D.heavily, accounting for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, while the remainder of the increase came
drugs后面是that引导的从句,这句话缺少动词,句子不是完整的

E.heavily, which accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, with the remainder of it coming
which指代不明确,排除

不是NN,希望大家指正

A，increases...accounts主谓单复数不一致
B，what accounted for不简洁，分号后句子不完整
C is the best，后面the remainder of the increase coming做独立主格
D，sentence fragment，没有主句谓语
E，sentence fragment，没有主句谓语，it指代不清
句子结构，考点：1，主句主语increases，谓语accounted for，2，the remainder… 是独立主格。
