20.   Since savings banks have to use short-term deposits to finance long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans, they sometimes lose money when there is a rise in short-term rates and, on the other hand, they are unable to raise the rates on their mortgages.

(A) when there is a rise in short-term rates and, on the other hand, they are unable to raise

(B) when short-term rates rise and they are unable to raise

(C) when a rise in short-term rates occurs and, correspondingly, there is no rise possible in

(D) with a rise in short-term rates, and they are unable to raise

(E) with short-term rates on the rise and no rise possible in

答案是b,这题做时选对了，但是后来总结的时候觉得好像d也可以，那么d错在不对在什么地方呢？

谢谢指教！！！

D用with结构替代了原文when引导的从句表示short-term rates rise是伴随lose money发生的，扭曲了原文的意思。

A中的there is a rise和C中的a rise ...occurs 都没有B中的rise简洁。
