求教 OG Verbal 第72题 关于 of 和 for

joshurman

State officials report that soaring       "rates of liability insurance have risen to force"      cutbacks in the operations of everything from local governments and school districts to day-care centers and recreational facilities.

引号那句为划线句

A. rates of liability insurance have risen to force
B. rates of liability insurance are a force for
C. rates for liability insurance are forcing
D.
E.

答案为C，解释里面有一点不太明白，说 用 of 会 misleading， 在这里 of 和 for 的区别是什么，为什么用 of 会misleading?

请把原题和原解释贴出来，谢谢！我在OG SC里面没找到。单说这题我的解释

rates of 和rates for的区别，属于IDIOM。Manhattan例句如下：
The RATES FOR bus tickets are good for commuters. (= prices)
The RATE OF theft has fallen. (= frequency or speed)

其他选项的错误点：
A. rates of liability insurance have risen to force
   1. rates of
   2. soaring和rise意思重复，soaring了就不能rise
   3.rise to force，不定式表目的，不符合逻辑
B. rates of liability insurance are a force for
   1. rates of
   2. force这里作为名词，表示力，就是物理学上说的力或者其隐申含义（推动力），此处不合逻辑。

State officials report that soaring       "rates of liability insurance have risen to force"      cutbacks in the operations of everything from local governments and school districts to day-care centers and recreational facilities.

引号那句为划线句

A. rates of liability insurance have risen to force
B. rates of liability insurance are a force for
C. rates for liability insurance are forcing
D.
E.

谢谢各位，我明白了。这个题是 OG Verbal SC 72题

D. rises in liability insurance rates are forcing
E.liability insurance rates have risen to force.
解释：
A. For should be used following rate; of is misleading. Have risen is redundant.

B For should be used following rates; of is misleading. The wordy construction are a force for is not nearly as clear as the more concise are forcing.

C. Correct. The sentence is concise and uses the appropriate preposition following rates, and the present progressive verb tense makes it clear that this is an ongoing situation.

D. Rises is used unidiomatically and adds nothing to the idea already expressed in the adjective soaring.

E. Have risen adds nothing to the idea expressed in the adjective soaring.

为什么不能说是一种保险率？

保险率的提高不能引起cutback...如果是保险价钱的提高引起cutback in the operations of everything在逻辑上会更说得过去一些。
