The problem with choice E is in the placement of the modifier ("For consumers and businesses making a large number of..."). Since this comes before the main clause, "the government predicts...", the implication is that the government is making a prediction for the sake of those consumers and businesses: the prediction is "for" them - and may not even mean that their rates will fall! Choice A, on the other hand, correctly captures the intended meaning of the sentence: The government is making a general prediction (it's not a prediction aimed at anybody in particular), about the rate cuts that will be experienced by certain individuals.

在逻辑表达，介词短语的位置不能随意改变，否则会使修饰对象改变，产生歧义。 A for表对,,,来说

for ..... 只能修饰reduce costs 无歧义，清楚

做题时觉得for consumer and business that 从句，结构有问题，又来想想，介词短语做插入语，短语的object 带定语从句。这种结构也没什么问题。

that应该是指代businesses, 指那些特别需要打电话的商业活动。

The meaning difference boils down to the placement of the "for" phrase. What exactly is FOR the people and companies mentioned? If it is the fact that the rate cuts will reduce their costs, then place the phrase close to that, as in (A). If it is the government, or the government prediction, then place the phrase next to "the government predicts," as in (E).

be for位置改变修饰 cd government开头 呼应后面 they

看到最后有一个they are，所以主语必须是the government

主动优于被动 B项表达不清
