og 95 宾语从句问题

95. Along with the drop in producer prices announced yesterday, the strong retail sales figures released today seem like it is indicative that the economy, although growing slowly, is not nearing a recession.
   

(A) like it is indicative that
   

(B) as if to indicate
   

(C) to indicate that
   

(D) indicative of

(E) like an indication of
   

Choice C, the best answer, offers a concise and idiomatic grammatical sequence: the main verb seem is followed by an infinitive (to indicate), which is in turn followed by its direct object, a noun clause introduced by the relative pronoun that. In A, seem is followed by like, a preposition improperly used to introduce a clause. Also, it either disagrees in number with figures or lacks an antecedent altogether. In B, as if is introduced awkwardly and (in context) unidiomatically between seem and the infinitive. Also, with that omitted, B is ungrammatical. Choices D and E, with of substituted for that, are likewise ungrammatical: of, a preposition, can introduce a phrase, but not a clause.

对标红字的那一句很不理解，宾从的that不是可以省略的么，个人觉得这样好像更加简洁

而且，省略了that也不至于ungrammatical，顶多是不够清晰什么的吧

希望nn们指教一下

宾从的that

在GMAT中不可省略

Also, with that omitted, B is ungrammatical

B没有了that，不符合语法（GMAT的语法）
