By about how much will monthly prices rise?
Charleston Light and Gas has announced plans to raise its rates in time for the winter season. The plan, pending regulatory approval, would raise gas prices by approximately seven dollars a month for most residential customers. Charleston officials said the rate hike is necessary to keep up with the increasing prices of oil and natural gas. The State Resources Board, the public agency responsible for regulating utilities, plans to discuss Charleston’s request early next week. Should the board approve the rate hike, it would go into effect on the first of December.
选项
A、Increased taxes and other fees
B、Higher freight and delivery costs
C、Rising oil and natural gas prices
D、Reduced availability of raw materials
答案
C
解析
这是一个询问细节的问题。第三句话Charleston officials said the rate hike is neces-sary to keep up with the increasing prices of oiland natural gas说明由于原油价格和天然气价格上涨,燃气费也不可避免的上涨了。因此将表达方式increasing prices of oil and naturalgas改换为Rising oil and natural gas prices的选项(C)是正确答案。
