听sophie

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
(C) in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming

这里BD的解释里有一句话没明白：rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically
C中也有相似解释：instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.

这句解释应该怎么理解，恳请各位的帮忙~~听听在此感激不尽！！

给你个rather和instead idiom的GMAT的规律吧~
正确的表达：They avoided the arcade and INSTEAD went to a movie.
Wrong：They avoided the arcade and RATHER went to a movie.
Wrong：They avoided the arcade,RATHER going to a movie.
貌似原文这种题目，只能用insteaddddddddd!

50：正确的表达 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.
考的用and instead 连接的带转折的平行结构. the economy will avoid the recession....and instead (will) come in for a "soft landing"   用and连接平行结构，instead表达略带转折的逻辑含义。
BD: 少了连接句子的and，同时没有平行结构

57：if we invert this construction（用it做形式主语）
B： That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault
-----> It can hardly be said to be at fault that educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology.
这样我们可以比较明白的感觉到it can hardly be said to be at fault这个表达is awkward and unclear. be at fault 的是人，而不是that 所引导的整个句子。
而B中是将整个that所引导的句子跟上main verb(can hardly be said),不仅没有清晰表达出who are at fault,同时还有logical problem.

小M，谢谢你给了这么详细完整的解答~太感激！
50题里面有一个小问题~
你说的那个and我明白了，连词不能缺少了
但是rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically里的idiomatically应该说的是
这个rather to come在习惯用语、习惯搭配上无法完成句子的第二部分，而不是连词上吧，这个理解对么

57题的B解释，也希望大家帮忙看一下~~
That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault : Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.
（B）That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault

解释是：Can hardly be said to be at fault does not grammatically complete the subordinate clause.
请问这个应该怎么理解呢？
