又有问题了。。求解释OG12-2

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
question1:OG的说法：It is superfluous and pointless to say that people hope both that  there is  a recovery and that such a recovery is underway . 可以详细说下么？
为啥？

                     GMAC认为 there is a recovery finally under way.
                                       等于    there is a recovery
                                       加上     such a recovery is underway
谢谢呀，我终于明白为什么GMAC不待见 there be 句式了。

question2E)For a recovery fi nally is awkward and—to the extent that it can be seen as grammatical—does not make sense.
hope for+n.我是知道的。可是hope for a recovery (finally under way)...不可以么？
翻过以前的讨论稿子。。还是不清楚，谢谢大家啦

GMAC认为E的表达 虽然从某种程度上将合乎语法，但是它还是觉得 awkward and does not make sense.

题外话，楼主的头像和签名，在说话呢。告诉大家，年轻是应该张扬的，年轻真好呀。

意思上来看，后面有说不会last，说明raise hope不是短暂的动作而是已经发生并持续到现在的，但是至于能持续多久，经济学家觉得不会很久.同时，hope for a recovery finally under way的意思是激起了人们对于复苏终于在快要来了的希望，从中文的逻辑和意思上就很不合理...

A的错误首先是主谓不一致，这是一个很大的错误，完全可以排掉了它了。至于It is superfluous and pointless to say that people hope both that  there is  a recovery and that such a recovery is underway .我感觉就是there be这个句型的问题。首先它是表示一种客观存在（manhattan上有讲），hope是一种希望，类似于虚拟了，不会虚拟出一种客观存在来的。此次，你刚才是问OG上说得是啥意思吧？我觉着这句话如果单挑出来看就是：there  is a recovery ,同时又在强调是一种under way的recovery。所以Og才那么解释。。。

至于E，我想说的是，hope 后面加这种长成分，最好用that 从句。介宾这个结构本身就是存在歧义，因为你不知道那个finally under way是说的hope 还是recovery
