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

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

 我困惑的是红色部分~~，为什么The recession must be followed by that，   the recession不是 many were fearing earlier in the year的宾语吗，那干吗一定要加that??
