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 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 rice higher this year over last because refiners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil 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 fr 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 pauing 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
OA is A.
Can any experts tell me whether the comparison in E is correct or not? The OE says in E the possessive last year's does not parallel the adverbial phrase this year. But I think they are comparing the price, not the time. Hope any expert can explain this point.
