(A) that personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubled that of (B) that personal spending in the July–September quarter would more than double (C) of personal spending in the July–September quarter, that it more than doubled (D) of personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubling that of (E) of personal spending in the July–September quarter, that it would more than double that of作者: 倦夕可乐 时间: 2012-4-5 07:11
imo, 1)first of all , "that of" is unnecessary in D, no reference.
the growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter is 1.4 percent, and then personal spending in the 7-9 would double it (to 2.8 percent).
2)use that clause here. expectations that X would do sth expectations of X(+modifier) these two have different emphasis, in the second expression, the subsequent modifier"more than doubling.whatever..." modifies 'personal spending (in the July–September quarter '), and is not associated with 'because of', --->that changes the original meaning.
btw, hope it helps作者: donglu123 时间: 2012-4-5 09:27
OG的解释说D选项没有语法上的错误，那么我觉得that of 应该没有问题吧？intensifying是不是和doubling比较呢？同意你第二个观点，谢了啊作者: donglu123 时间: 2012-4-5 09:29
