动词predict 优于名词prediction .并且在 GMAT 语法中，主动语态通常优于被动语态，因为被动结构复杂并且不能清楚表达出 施动对象；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。

除了被动语态的错误外， 'the government's prediction is'的说法也太啰嗦了，它可以被更简单的'the government predicts'替代而且不改变原意。

the prepositional phrase at the beginning of choice e is an example of a dangling modifier: one isn't quite sure exactly what it's supposed to modify. according to the strict rules followed by the gmat, this phrase should technically modify the action directly following the comma (the government predicts), which doesn't make sense: the government is not making predictions for the benefit of consumers and businesses (rather, it is merely making projections).

one thing you should definitely notice in choice c is the wordiness of 'the government's prediction is'. constructions like that, which can easily be replaced by more compact forms ('the government predicts') with no change in meaning, are ALWAYS wrong. (also, you need the word 'that' after 'is'.)
