OG 12 -93

Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were last  year.
(A) Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were

(B) Heating-oil prices are expected to rise higher this year over last because refiners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did

(C) Expectations are for heating-oil prices to be higher this year than last year's because refiners are paying about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did

(D) It is the expectation that heating-oil prices will be higher for this year over last because refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil now than what they were

(E) It is expected that heating-oil prices will rise higher this year than last year's because refiners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did

这应该是今年的价格和去年的价格的比较，所以不是应该是last year's吗？为什么A是对的？答案上解释E时说last year's 没有和this year平行，这点也很不理解。希望有人能帮着解答下

last year's 是做形容词修饰省略的名词，做代词，而this year 是做状语，名词和状语时不平行的

可是这样不就变成了两个年份比较，年份怎么比较呢？
