OG12-50

According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence "that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come" in for a "soft landing,"followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

A.that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
B. in the economy to avoid the recession,what many feared earlier in the year,rather to come

正解是A.可是我觉得A里面的时态有点问题，had feared 改成feared,是不是用过去时更好？还有，B选项哪里错误，OG对B的解释看不太懂，望大虾指点！

Question: Why THAT (the one after RECESSION) cannot be omitted?

A的时态我也没有搞清楚

B的错误都是很明显的
1. rather 不能当连词用，所以rather 前面还得加个 and
2. OG解释“what cannot replace that”, 我记得在前面的语法笔记中提到，在GMAT中，指代物只能用that or which，至于what指代什么，我还要查一下

希望NN们能指点下，GMAT中 what 的用法

up!仍然请教A选项的时态问题，为什么不能用过去时？
