这题有争议~到底选什么啊？！！

well, at the first sight, i picked A by elimanation. obviously answer D and E is wrong because their usages of " due to ".
future tense is needed since a future event is being discussed. thus B is still a wrong choice.
well, left A and C , which one we should pick is actually a dilemma here you guys are talking about.
for answer C, i think "continues strong " is actually a correct usage since "continue" here is acting as a " linking verb", same usage as " feels happy", i crossed out C simply just because i deemd it awrkward by using past tense while " for weeks" here actually calls for present perfect tense ...

left over A, which was the one i picked and which is the one i personally think is apropos for this question .

let me know if you guys have different ideas.

thank you ! CrackingGMAC~ by the way, i like your name~hehe
i think the tense used in A is more accurate than that used in C. " for weeks" is a little hint that suggests that the perfect tense is more appropriate.

另外，我觉得C的would也不好吧？predict that ... 后面有表示揣测语气的would好吗？
求解惑！

predict that 后面通常用将来时态啊，表示预测未来啊，这里的would 是 will 的过去式，因为前面是 predicted。

嗯。所以问题还是出在predicted做过去时的问题上。

1. because of
似乎以往的讨论都忽视了because of。because of 强调因果关系，表示明确的因果关系。本例中，经济持续强势与分析家做出预测之间没有明确的、直接的、客观上的因果关系。

2. for weeks
predicted for weeks 无问题，见例句：
1) SCC worked for years to fund road.
2) Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end.
3) Excel Workbook (with Macros) that Worked for Years in Excel 2003 Failing in Excel 2007.
可见，for years, for weeks 等并非是完成时标志，只是说明这段时间一直都在做某件事而已。

3. predicted that ... would
并无问题，以下是朗文例句：
Newspapers predicted that Davis would be re-elected.

4. the economy continues strong
无问题，经贸文章常见此说法。

这题明显选A
看见and，证明since feb这个对后面也有效，明显使用完成时态
C已经错没边儿了
because后面这是一般现在时，真的没问题吗？economics永远strong？跟后面的predicted搭配吗？
这题一点也不争议

刚在百度找到GWD的博森机构老师的纠错视频，讲得挺清楚的，答案是A。大家可以来看看。 http://page.renren.com/600441323/note/764830818

肯定是A。

都是predict for weeks 不存在说延续不延续的问题。

C选项
because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would.....本身就paradox.因为现在的经济持续强盛，所以analysts 在过去预计都是根据已经知道的预计不知道的。在这里是根据现在的论据。在过去预计未来？说的通么？
