1.        The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.

(A) The United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.

(B) The United States petroleum industry’s cost by the end of the decade to meet environmental regulations is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.

(C) By the end of the decade, the United States petroleum industry’s cost of meeting environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.

(D) To meet environmental regulations, the cost to the United States petroleum industry is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.（E）

(E) It is estimated that by the end of the decade the cost to the United States petroleum industry of meeting environmental regulations will be ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.

I have two questions: 1. Why C is wrong? 2. I don't think "project" is synonym of "estimate". But in E, ETS replaces the fomer with the latter. Why? Facing to such problems, how can we make proper choice?

Thanx in advance!

C，意思成本被计划是10%；by the end后面用一般时不对；sb's cost of doing -->cost to sb. of doing

E，意思据估计成本是10%；

换词是很正常的，有的时候，甚至把其他四个选项的某些词全部省掉了，却也是对的。正确选项和其他选项之间没有必然联系的。
