1 所有格在GMAT里一般都是不如x of y 的。即ACB里的petroleum industry’s cost 2 By the end of the decade 要配合将来时 3 cost of与cost to的区别。前者接收费的原因，后者接收费的对象。

1.the cost of sth ...的费用，成本；the cost to sb/sth ...所付出的费用代价 错误选项里的industry's cost表示这个产业的花费，而正确意思cost to the industry是给这个产业造成的花费和成本

nah, this has to be (e). 'projected at' and 'estimated at' are both incorrect idioms, so (e) is correct by default. there's nothing wrong with '...of meeting environmental regulations'. there are two idiomatic expressions attached to 'cost' here: the cost TO X, and the cost OF Y. if you're going to have both, as in this problem, then one of them has to be placed after the other; proper usage dictates that 'to X' gets placed closer to the noun than does 'of Y'. idioms are cool that way: if you know the correct idiom, you don't even have to bother checking the rest of the sentence if it's wrong.

这里by the end of the decade要用will be只有E用了，而且by the end of the decade的位置摆放的也是对的。 the cost of sth ...的费用，成本 the cost to sb/sth ...所付出的费用，代价 eg:The cost of product in terms of money may not measure its true cost to society 【the cost to sb of doing sth 某人做某事所付出的费用，代价】to后面接花钱的对象，of后面接花钱的理由 the cost to a company of developing the local market

by 加将来时间，用将来时。 by修饰句子最好在句首或者句尾

by加将来时间，用将来时，另外，b里面by的位置很不好，他是要修饰句子的，最好在句首或者句尾，另外，d的to那个结构也不好，语义上不是修饰句子，是修饰cost

Solution: Idioms + Modifier + Tense In A, “end of decade” incorrectly modifies “refined petroleum”. Furthermore “projected” is inappropriate here and hence, “estimated” must be used. In B, “the end of the decade to meet” is awkward. In C, the use of “projected” is inappropriate. “By the end… regulations is regulated” is wrong tense. In D, “end of decade” incorrectly modifies “refined petroleum”. In E, “cost of x to y” is idiomatic. “It is estimated that by the end…will be 10 percent…” rectifies the tense problem with D. Hence, E is the best choice.

Cost的用法： the cost of sth ...的费用，成本 the cost to sb/sth ...所付出的费用，代价 eg:The cost of product in terms of money may not measure its true cost to society the cost to sb of doing sth 某人做某事所付出的费用，代价 the cost to a company of developing the local market。 错误选项里的industry's cost表示这个产业的花费，而正确意思cost to the industry是给这个产业造成的花费和成本

the cost of sth ...的费用；the cost to sb/sth ...所付出的费用代价 正确意思cost to the industry是给这个产业造成的花费和成本.
