这一题为啥用recent，而不是recently呢？

这儿显然是要形容词，为什么要用副词形式？大多数形容词作定语修饰名词时，其位置在被修饰名词的前面。

这里用recent和recently语法上都没有错，但是语意不一样。recent extended sales slump说extended sales slump是recent，recently extended sales slump说sales slump被recently extended。两句的重点是不同的。如果用recent的意思是说商家的问题来自于sales slump本身，而用recently是说商家的问题来自于recent extension。如果尊重原句语意的话，肯定是用recent。

而这道题，更重要的问题还是完成时的时态，如果能明白用had，A和E之间就很好选了，不用纠结recent还是recently。
