TN-4-Q31请NN们进来看看。

As sources of electrical power, windmills now account for only about 2,500 megawatts nationwide, but production is almost expected to double by the end of the year, which would provide enough electricity for 1.3 million households.  

A.      almost expected to double by the end of the year, which would provide

B.       almost expected that it will double by the end of the year, thus providing

C.      expected that it will almost double by the end of the year to provide

D.      expected almost to double by the end of the year and thus to provide

E.       expected almost to double by the end of the year, which would thus be providing

这道题答案是D，我选了B，请NN们解答下这里almost 和expected的位置关系，以及整句话的语法解释。

本人菜鸟，希望NN们帮忙。

not NN.just FYI:

almost expected，几乎被预测...逻辑不对，所以almost不能修饰expected。almost是修饰to double的，所以必须放在to double边上，但是放在后面又会有修饰by the end of the year的可能，所以在此只能放在to double前面，不能放在to double中间是因为，不定式绝对不能被拆分。

另外：be expected that 错，expect that是可以的。

be expected to do 是正确搭配搭配。
