Hi Friends,

I am having difficulty in solving the following problem. Need help.

I am confused between A and E.
Chose A because it is more concise.

In B, that make calls...by the rate cuts makes no sense. Eliminate B.

In C, the government's prediction...is costs makes no sense. The pronoun that is needed: the government's prediction...is that costs will be greatly reduced. Eliminate C.

In D, the subject (the prediction) lacks a verb. Eliminate D.

In E, for consumers and businesses should be placed closer to will greatly reduce costs. A modifier should be as close as possible to what it's modifying. Eliminate E.

The correct answer is A.

B is wrong because "costs will be greatly reduced" should have been near to "by Federal commission's rate cuts"[/b]
