A - 'It' is a pronoun with no clear antecedent. 'It' could refer to 'deficit' or 'gap'

B - 'a billion dollars' is being compared to 'the prediction' with the use of 'over'. This is illogical.

C - Same reason as for answer A

D - correct

E - They predicted it what? They predicted it TO BE. 'to be' is missing here.
