就是呀！照OG的解释，那么the cost of meeting environmental regulations to the United States petroleum industry 岂不更好？

我有不懂為什麼the cost of可以插入to the United States petroleum industry

還有我覺得A挺好的

不對的原因在於被動嗎??

110. It has been estimated that the annual cost to the LACE>United StatesLACE> of illiteracy in lost industrial output and tax revenues is at least $20 billion a year.

(A)            the annual cost to the LACE>United StatesLACE> of illiteracy in lost industrial output and tax revenues is at least $20 billion a year

(B)            the annual cost of illiteracy to the LACE>United StatesLACE> is at least $20 billion a year because of lost industrial output and tax revenues

(C)            illiteracy costs the LACE>United StatesLACE> at least $20 billion a year in lost industrial output and tax revenues

(D)            $20 billion a year in lost industrial output and tax revenues is the annual cost to the LACE>United StatesLACE> of illiteracy

(E)lost industrial output and tax revenues cost the United States at least $20 billion a year because of illiteracy

In choices A, B, and D, the combined use of annual and a year is redundant. Choices A, D, and E are awkward and confused because other constructions intrude within the phrase cost... of illiteracy: for greatest clarity, cost should be followed immediately by a phrase (e.g., of illiteracy ) that identifies the nature of the cost. Choice E is particularly garbled in reversing cause and effect, saying that it is lost output and revenues rather than illiteracy that costs the United States over $20 billion a year. Choice B is wordy and awkward, and idiom requires in rather than because of to introduce a phrase identifying the constituents of the $20 billion loss. Concise, logically worded, and idiomatic, choice C is best.

请问上面黄色部分是什么意思？哪位帮忙解释一下？谢谢！

选项a,d,e是笨拙而混乱的因为在cost和 of illiteracy加入了其他成分:为达到清晰最大化的目的,cost后面应立即跟着一个词组(比如of illiteracy)来鉴别cost的性质

想请问一下COST得用法！

不知道cost to 还是 cost of 更好。 谢谢

cost of sth 和cost to sb都有这样的用法，对于本题，cost to sb of sth OG里说不对了，那么B选项中cost of sth to sb对吗？

對 解釋裡面說的of誰要立即放在cost後面 不然會有歧異

就像是AD-->會讓人以為是文盲的美國

请问一下,是不是在句中随意加上关系连词,如because 或because of 等,会改变句子的原意呢?

如本题的B/E,而OG中的解释也说E是"distorts meaning".

请教NN啊

自己顶一下，请牛牛解答啊！
