· keep the housing market from spiraling out of control, like it did

正确答案：B
我的选项：C


纠结点：that 后面的修饰是单纯修饰factors还是only one of the factors，因为之前在某个语法笔记上看到过that应该是修饰only one of the factors，请教大家，谢谢


答案解释：Since "factors" is plural noun and "keeps" agrees with singular nouns, we need to find a sentence that replaces "keeps" with "keep"

(B) CORRECT. This choice remedies the verb agreement issue by using the singular "keep." It also correctly changes the comparison word from "like" to "as."

(C) This subject-verb issue with "keeps" remains.
