【求助】OG 45--关于定语从句中that能否省略的问题 - ChaseDream

45. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy
will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier
in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

(A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come

(B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come

(C) in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come

(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come

(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming

The original sentence successfully avoids the problems that may occur in a long sentence with multiple modifiers. Two subordinate clauses begin with that, and one of them is contained within another. That many had feared earlier in the year clearly defines the recession. That the economy will avoid ... and instead (will understood) come... is the subordinate clause that follows the main clause; its subject, economy, is followed by two parallel verbs, will avoid and (will understood) come. Instead before the second verb properly indicates contrast.

A Correct. This sentence contains two correct subordinate clauses introduced by that.

B What cannot replace that, the economy to avoid the recession is awkward and unclear_; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically

C Earlier in the year should follow many had feared, rather than preceding it; instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically

D The recession must be followed by that, were fearing is the wrong tense; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically

E The passive voice construction that was feared ... is weak and wordy; with it instead coming is awkward, wordy, and ungrammatical

选项D中，OG给出的解释说，The recession must be followed by that。我对整个句子的结构分析是，第一个that引导同位语从句，第二个that引导定语从句。在定语从句中，that做宾语的时候是可以省略的啊，这里为什么错了？期待大家的解答^^谢谢啦

自己默默的回一句...是因为此处that引导了限定性定语从句么？

其实主要问题会不会是平行结构呢。。。因为instead come省略了will，和前面的will avoid 是对称的，这样看的话其他选项就都排除了。。

是的，主要问题不是that的省略，我也是根据instead come作对了~只是面对D选项的解释confuse了....anyway，谢谢啦：）
