2. Although a surge in retail sales have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally under way, many economists say that without a large amount of spending the recovery might not last. (A) have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally (B) raised hopes for there being a recovery finally (C) had raised hopes for a recovery finally being (D) has raised hopes that a recovery is finally (E) raised hopes for a recovery finally 答案是D。 A错的原因是:there is... finally underway is awkward and wordy. 这里为什么说there is... finally underway 是awkward and wordy呢? 请NN解释!!
ls回答得差不多了,there is a recovery finally underway 是awkward and wordy: awkward指recovery其实不是固有存在的或自然存在的,用there is不当。 wordy是指不如a recovery is finally under way简洁。
