题目如下：Since Feburary, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target 5 times, and because of the economy's continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.

划线部分就是正确答案。
我个人觉得，正确的原因是不是：and前后要完全一致。因为AND前面是havs raised，是现在完成时，所以AND后面也要是现在完成时？
还有其他原因么？

有一个选项不明白：
....because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that target would....
这个选项错误不会是以为RUN-ON吧？and后面接了because的一个完整句子，后面接逗号，然后又接了一个句子？

谢谢回答~

predicted is simple past

it cannot be followed by for weeks( it makes no sense)

the whole sentence is happening is the past timeframe, the use of simple present continues mix-up the time sequence
