Main reason

by rishi.riddle » Wed Aug 17, 2011 1:42 am
The Commerce Department announced that the economy grew during the second quarter at a 7.5 percent annual rate, while inflation eased when it might have been expected for it to rise.
(A) it might have been expected for it to rise
(B) it might have been expected to rise
(C) it might have been expected that it should rise
(D) its rise might have been expected
(E) there might have been an expectation it would rise


I got the ans as (B).
But didnt get the main reason to elminate the option (D).


GMAT warriors can u give me the strong weapon to eliminate the option (D).

The reason for this lies in matters of Grammar Meaning and Concision . MGMAT says that adverb is preferable to a Noun . to rise is preferable to rise-noun . Also active voice is preferable to passive . The reasons are very vague
