关系代词在定从中做定语通常是省略的(不省略为有效性错误,不是绝对性错误),但50题不省略that有两个原因:
1. many这个代词的出现比较突兀,加上that更明确地表明many作为从句主语,这个用法的话many就可以直接泛指很多人,而不用有所指代。所以有that更好。
2. 没有that会造成had feared和instead come in并列的歧义,结构上不好。
According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession
thatmany had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
