Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners are paving about S5 a barrel more for crude oil than thev 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


这题的E，OG的解释是"more than" should immediately follow" $5 a barrel",为什么呢？有什么歧义？

谢谢大家

因为是说比去年多5块钱，E选项的意思是掏了5块钱，这五块钱比去年多。意思变了

嗯 明白了。看了千行excel的解释，说E有歧义，其中一个意思就是你说的这个。还有个意思是“比去年支付的油钱多付了5美元（intended meaning）”
我把解释贴过来
refiners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did.
当more做形容词时：
crude oil （more than）they did：他们去年支付的油钱比5美元要少
当more 做副词时：
crude oil （more）than they did：比去年支付的油钱多付了5美元（intended meaning）
就像你说的，这时more是做形容词，它修饰的是谁呀？
谢谢

我很想问一下，为什么不用last year‘s ???
因为是今年的油和去年的油比较啊，而不是今年的油和去年在比较啊？

求解答
