(A) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already are a cost to business of

(B) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already cost business

(C) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, already with business costs of

(D) significant in compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and already costing business（B）

(E) significant in compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and already costs business

E不对阿，significantly 是表示程度，significant表重要，他俩意思不一样。

而且，形容词短语significant in compounding 在句尾是定语修饰前面的名词，而原题的意思是要significantly compounding 修饰谓语动词is growing,所以他俩的作用是不同的。

多多指教了啦~

继续问，significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already cost business作什么成分啊？ 是同位语还是SVO，ing 结构作结果状语呢？

我看了贴子，但是大家讨论得都很乱啊。

正确答案“cost business more than $100 billion a year”中的 “cost business ”

是什么意思啊？就是耗费多少钱的意思吗？

朋友们可以举几个business这样用的例子吗
