问题 Some analysts point out that because people are becoming accustomed to a steady inflation rate of four to five percent, businesses found that they could raise prices according to this amount without thereby provoking strong public reaction.
选项 A、found that they could raise prices according to this amount without thereby provoking.
B、found that they were capable of raising prices by this amount and not provoke
C、find that they are capable of raising prices by this amount and not provoke
D、are finding that they can raise prices by this amount without provoking
E、are finding that they can raise prices according to this amount and will not thereby provoke
答案D
解析 A、B、C中的时态都不恰当：因为句意强调原因状语从句与主句动作的同时性，因此划线部分的时态应与原因从句的保持一致，都应该用现在进行时；同时，E中有两个错误：(1)由于用and连接can raise和will not provoke，使得两个动作有了先后顺序，而原句强调同时性；C中也犯了同样的错误；另外raiser prices according to this amount与D中的raise price bythis amount，从意思上是有区别的；而原意是指后者“增加相应的量”。
