个人认为应该用A

OG有一个考点解释的是过去时态和完成时态不能混合使用的

可以看10版OG第30题的解释~有这么一句话：

the use of the new technology
            cannot logically be described by both the present perfect has been and the past was

新东方也有类似的讲解，呵呵~时态的一致性~

龙飞凤舞

我支持A ,因为OG中一直强调 AND 连接的前后两句,时态要一致.

pridict,本身确实是个点动词，但是,题目中的分析家用的是复数,这也就意味着,分析家们一直在预测着着件事, 所以用现在完成进行时,可以说的通.

没办法,这题只有矮子里拔将军了...

我不记得是不是LZM说的: 从来不会选现在完成进行时作为答案...

但这题,实在没办法

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times 用的是现在完成时态，如果后面没有明显时间标志要用过去时，那么我们是否应该优先考虑现在时呢？盼牛人指点。

我觉得选择C的原因是:

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times,和because the economy continues strong, 是analyst 做出预测的两个并列的原因，所以，从形式上来说，because +从句 的形式 比 because of 这样的介词结构来的对称。

我选择A. C的continues和predicted时态不统一.
