问题 Inflation in medical costs slowed in 1986 for the fifth consecutive year but were still about 50 percent greater than the rate of price increases for other items included in the consumer price index.

选项 A、Inflation in medical costs slowed in 1986 for the fifth consecutive year but were
B、Inflation in medical costs slowed for the fifth consecutive year in 1986 but was
C、In 1986 inflation in medical costs were slowed for fifth consecutive year but were
D、1986 was the fifth consecutive year in which inflation in medical costs slowed but was
E、1986 was the fifth consecutive year that inflation in medical costs were slowed, but they were

答案B

解析 划线中but是连词,but之后谓语的逻辑主语仍是inflation,而inflation与were显然主谓不一致,排除A;C中,were slowed中的were应为was,同时用被动语态是不恰当的;E中but分句中,前后的对象不具可比性,than之前是costs(they指代medical costs),than之后是rate:D中,but之前的表达可接受,但当把主语1986代入but后的分句中,就出现极其严重的逻辑问题,前后的对比物不具可比性,than之前是“1986”,than之后是the rate。
