HELP 时态对称问题

Q40:

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.

1. because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will
2. with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target
3. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would
4. due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target
5. due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will

答案C   我觉得时态上C和has raised 不对称,  能不能分析一下A

我认为答案应该是 A。

首先，C 的时态是不能和整个句子的时态协调一致。这个句子是由两个主句组成的： the FB has raised rate target and analysts + 谓语 ＋that 宾语从句。  总体上这个句组是现在时态。从句意上理解，从二月开始，FB已经将 rate target 提高了 5次，并且，由于持续强劲的经济发展，分析师们在几周的时间内已经不断的预言target在11月还要再次提高。

同意A

GWD的答案是C
