2、A项中being在gmat考试中必错
3、C项中的时态问题需要注意
4、B项正确答案，平行没问题，平行可能有多种组合。
A hints of oil supplies being disrupted
B、hints of oil supply disruptions
考点在于核心词：到底是vulnerable to oil supply 还是oil supply disruption，显然是后者
本体主要看意思，因为库存低导致石油价格相对于中东供应中断的hints, vulnerable; 而非库存低导致了一个事实 - 石油价格相对于中东供应中断的hints, vulnerable。所以DE不对。
ABC，更冷的天气应该是promote demand， 应该是催进需求，而不是促进需求增长，所以A不对
C：中使用was， 主要问题是使用过去时动词（'was'）来描述可能在未来发生的事情
所以选B
DE：that wording is awkward in its indirectness.
the sentence is supposed to say that this situation has (directly) left oil prices vulnerable to blah blah blah. however, the wording of (d) and (e) weirdly suggests that it has led to the existence of a fact, rather than to actually vulnerable oil prices.
C：in that part of choice C, the main problem is the use of a past-tense verb ('was') to describe something that might hypothetically happen in the future!
'MIGHT BE"和“Possibly”可互换
平行结构 ：hints of【 oil supply disruptions…or any unexpected growth】
B：that might be prompted by colder-than-normal temperatures. 修饰 consumer demand。 hints of disruptions
冷天气引起的consumer demand的上升而不是growth , hints of disruptions 才使得prices vulnerable
其次注意核心词变化 ACD 石油供应的迹象 CE 石油供应中断这个迹象 明显vulerable的是中断这个迹象 不是石油供应本身。
所以B 选项最优
hints of oil supply disruptions意思为被中断的迹象。
