rate in personal spending for the previous quarter. 

A. that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of

• expectation意味着后面的是还没有发生的事情，而过去时表示已经发生的，不恰当。另外，that of 没有可以指代的对象

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

• expectation应该是期望一个动作的发生，或者是一个接过的出现，而personal spending是一个事实，不是一个动作，也不是一个结果，没有办法expect。另外，这里的it指代可能有问题，并且用逗号将其与前面的部分分开，使得语法结构上变得比较奇怪

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

• 同上，并且that of无指代

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

• 同上，另外，that it would more than...   is wordy and illogical
