关于OG-139比较对象的问题，大家一起讨论一下！！！！！

deityc

The company announced that its profits declined much less in the second quarter than analysts had expected it to and its business will improve in the second half of the year. B

(A) had expected it to and its business will improve
(B) had expected and that its business would improve
(C) expected it would and that it will improve its business
(D) expected them to and its business would improve
(E) expected and that it will have improved its business

本题答案 没有问题，只是一直想不清楚，本题的比较的对象分别是什么？是 profits in the second quarter 和（profits）analysts had expected

analysts had expected 前是不是省略了 profits?

恩 有道理

恩~我觉得就是实际下降的profit与analysts预期会下降的profit对比     不过我觉得这个地方应该不是在analysts前面省略了profit ，因为比较的应该是decline这个动作，所以这个句子后面应该是than analysts had expected the profit to decline

个人观点哈~~不知道对否~
