我觉得无论后面跟不跟 that of ,这里的double都是动词。that of 是指代 the expectation of .
但如果用从句:expectation that personal spending,而不用expectation of personal spending,就不需要that of 这个结构了,也就更加简洁。

如果D中的that of指代的是expectation of的话,那根B就不同了,B中double的是rate,不是expectation
答案B代入:Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July–September quarter would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.
答案D代入:Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations of personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubling that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.
B中expectations后跟that引导的定语从句,double是动词,做谓语,楼主理解正确。
D中expectation of后跟一个名词词组加上这个名词词组的修饰语。其中doubling是动名词,修饰personal spending。个人觉得doubling后面的that of应该多余了。
有NN出手详解么?
祝楼主杀鸡愉快。我4月8日首战,顺求祝愿。

我觉得选B的三个理由
1. expectation这个词,是对未来的预测。像OG讲的一样, Since expectations look to the future but are not yet realized, the relative clause explaining these expectations should be conditional, employing the auxiliary verb would. 也就是说这里考点是动词时态 Verb form, 应该用 would + (more than看作是一个副词结构)+ 动词原形。这里would是虚拟语气还是will的过去式表达? 我也不得甚解, 请各位拍砖。
如果用D,这种conditional的陈述就无从体现了。
2. 正如 ran2010zx所说的that of 指代的是expectation of, double the expectation 逻辑上讲不通。应该是double the rate才好。
3. 过长的of doing 结构没有定语从句that 在句子结构上简洁

那到底OG 解释给的D选项说也对何从解释呢。。。斑竹们啊啊啊啊
