255. The bank holds $3 billion in loans that are seriously delinquent or in such trouble that they do not expect payments when due.
(A) they do not expect payments when
(B) it does not expect payments when it is
(C) it does not expect payments to be made when they are
(D) payments are not to be expected to be paid when
(E) payments are not expected to be paid when they will be
Choice C is the best answer,
为什么payment.. expected to be paid意思重复呢
OG对E的解释是payments... to be paid is redundant and unidiomatic,不知怎么重复了，如何修改，还请大家多多指教
谢谢！
payment 和 pay（paid）不就是同一个意思吗？
谢谢leslie mm的明示
偶太糊涂了，开始硬是没看出来 
C中 的 THEY 是不是也有点指代模糊,因为,是不是有可能指代loans??
指代问题一直把我弄糊涂了??
个人觉得那样指代的话，可能会太远了点吧，而且我觉得关于指代的问题，还应该能够从逻辑上去加以判断。
但是具体说不清楚，还请nn指教。
OG解释的已经很清楚: payment to be paid语意重复. 而payment to be made就不重复

(D) payments are not to be expected to be paid when
(E) payments are not expected to be paid when they will be
想请教一下A中的省略。是不是省略不清？？
另外，og says
Also, are not to be in D and will be in E inappropriately shift action to the future
我觉得用将来很正常，是将来到期嘛
when due是一个很正常的说法.
如果用将来时的话, 那是否表示现在不希望呢?
对，due本身就有将来到期的意思
A中省略应该是：when (they are) due
BTW,个人觉得，DE中的they指代问题不大，毕竟在……in such trouble that 后面的部分里面只有payments是可以指代的

为什么D 明明用 ARE 却说是将来的意思呢? are not to be expected..大不了是被动么
got it now, so embarrassed
by the way, i agree with previous floors!
In D and E, the use of the passive (payments are not... expected to be paid) does not contribute meaningfully to the sentence and thus is unwarranted,
OG的这句话怎么解释,请教NN,
用被动态时必须指出动作的发出者吗?没有就算错吗?

同问，还有啥叫not contribute meaningfully?
我的理解是：
能主动尽量主动，在动作的发出者不明确的时候，才用被动。记得有例子的，什么能源消耗什么的。。。
OG解释的已经很清楚: payment to be paid语意重复. 而payment to be made就不重复
续问本题句法结构及指代：
这个句子乍一看挺清楚，但是多琢磨一下就犯糊涂了，请指教。
The bank holds $3 billion in loans that（引导定语从句，修饰loans） are seriously delinquent or in such trouble that(trouble的同位语从句) it does not expect payments to be made when they are due.
句中的it为什么一定是指代bank呢？最近的单数名词是trouble呀？

逻辑！trouble 如何 expect ?
When I took the question, I also regarded they as the representation of loans. But OG interprets that this preposition represents payments. I would like to receive OG's notion and considere it the logical and idiomatic difference between Chinese and English language. In other words, we say dai kuan dao qi in Chinese while payments will be due in English.
Moreover, when they are due is an adverbial modifier of condition here rather than a modifier of time. That is the reason why the subordinate clause uses simple present tense to refer to the future.
