Guys..the answer is B...beats me too....
explanation:
Since amount is singular, the verb needs to be has been, so you can eliminate (A) and (C). Amount of research is better than cause research (which makes no sense at any rate), leaving you with (B) and (E). (E) creates a misplaced modifier, so (B) is the correct choice.
3-2 split.
D and E can be eliminated.
Reason-expenditures regarding and expenditures against awkward usage.
A can be eliminated.
reason-expenditures-plural ....amount-plural
C can be eliminated
reason-Sum-countable.. less-countable
