问题 The following questions present a sentence, part of which or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence, you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.
   These questions test correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error. [br] The rising of the rate of tardiness among MegaTech employees has generated concern among management that the employees are not sufficiently focused on increasing shareholder value.

选项 A、The rising of the rate
B、Rising rates
C、The rising rate
D、Because of the rising rate
E、Because the rising rate

答案 C

解析 A is less idiomatic and concise than C. B is incorrect because "rates" does not agree in number with "has generated." The "because" in D and E turns the first clause into a sentence fragment. C is the best choice.
