下面这题，有解释说will 要省略，要不然不平衡，所以排掉了A，为什么？高手帮帮忙吧！！这个平行关系是什么？

我觉得AD可以首先排除，现在完成进行时用法错误，分析家一直在预测到现在还没有停止，但是后面又说目标会在11月份达到，表示预测已经结束，前后矛盾，用过去时表示预测已经结束；E中due to the fact of的表达wordy，再gmat中从来没有成为正确答案，有很多这样的例子，fact后面一般加that引导同位语从句，B选项中，with做伴随状语从句，对主句进行补充说明，无法说明因果关系，所以选C，不知道这样分析对不对，仅供参考~

这题选A吧。。C时态明显不对。

首先，due to...只能做表语，做其它成分在GMAT中从来不对；

如果是B的话，predict后为虚拟语气，而只有suggest,order,recommend,demand等表示命令、建议的动词后才加虚拟；

只剩AC，其实时态用一般过去和现在完成都可以，因为没有线索提示predict的动作是否持续到现在。之所以选C，是因为continued strength没有continues strong更优选，根据是：同根词情况下，动词优于形容词优于抽象名词优于动名词。
