4. of personal spending in the July-September quarter, more than doubling that of

5. of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it would more than double that of

答案B我选了A

不明白为什么选B请牛牛们指点  

我是gmat新手,刚开始没几天.

不过这题我还真选了B.

A里面that引导的这个同位语从句谓语有问题.如果doubled算谓语的话,那时态就有问题了.既然是expectation,说明没有发生.主句里是rose过去时,后面应该是过去将来时才对.所以用would吧.而这里double应该是谓语动词.

俺是新手,不能确定.牛牛来看看吧.
