请教一道PREP语法笔记的题目

180.
Noting that the Federal Reserve had raised a key short-term interest rate again last month, analysts said that they expected orders for durable goods to decline soon because rising interest rates makes it more expensive to buy them on credit
A.        rising interest rates makes it more expensive to buy them on credit
B.        rising interest rates make buying on credit more expensive
C.        a rise in interest rates make it more expensive to buy on credit
D.        a rise in interest rates make buying on credit more expensive   
E.        a rise in interest rates makes it more expensive for them to be bought on credit

B.        correct；从意合角度可看出：rising interest rates与前面的again遥相呼应。因为有again的存在，说明不是一次利率上涨(a rise in interest rates)，借此可以排除C,D,E；by on credit固定搭配

不是说n.形式优于doing的形式么？求大牛解答~小弟真心不知道为神马rising优于a rise？

楼主说的名词优于doing，doing是指动名词。那个原则是说在同种表意和功能的情况下，纯名词优于动名词。

这里的rising是现在分词修饰后面的interest rates。都不是一个功能，上面的原则当然不适用咯。。
