标题: OG12 第50题C选项对答案的一点疑惑
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

OG的解释：
Rhetorical construction

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

C的答案中，认为instead to come是错误的表达，但我觉得to come是和前面的to avoid平行对称，是正确的用法。C的错误我理解还有一个应该是应该把economy's ability改成ability of economy。不知我的想法对不对……

求各位牛人解答~~~

刚刚没看后面的先做了下题选的是A。。但是C我排除的理由也不是OG上的，除了觉得应该用had feared以外，我是觉得instead to come和to avoid平行的话，那就是economy's ability to come。。总觉得怪怪的，come这个还需要神马ability吗？><就排除了。。。

GMAT有个规律，就是这些非实体的名词，比如suggestion, advice, hypothesis....后面一般用that引导一个从句。因为用其他的结构句子结构会显得不清晰。

另外，C选项里something指代是什么呢？不清楚
Had feard 也是明显错误

另外ability to do 这个是正确的，of的用法见过一些，但一般是错的

instead一般接of; 即使接to 正确，语义也说不通。 ability instead to do....这个是什么意思呢？

GMAT的另外一个倾向性是：所有格一般只修饰人和动物所以economy’s ability自然降格了
