OG11－045,大全987没有,手敲录入,诚心请教!

对答案本身无异议，但og对C选项的解释中说instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically不太理解。是不是因为instead没有对比才不idiomatical?这里and instead to come 和 to aviod the recession一起修饰the ability不也是一种意义相反的对比吗？去掉instead是不是就可以了呢？

关于过去完成时，我觉得严格从语法上来讲的确不好解释，seasnow mm的说法可以帮助理解，但不是太有说服力。我的理解是：描述过去曾经有过的想法的时候总是用过去完成时。不知各位是否见到过其它用法。

继续讨论。。。。

OG11-45

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.

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

解释上说D的recession must be followed by that, 我的理解是that做定语从句的宾语时可以省略呀？请指教！

也许这里的THAT从句被理解为限定性定语从句，尽管从意思上来看去掉这个从句对整句话的理解没有太大损害。

关于限定性和非限定性从句我的理解是（在GMAT里）：如果是限定性就只能用THAT引导，而且THAT不能省略；如果是非限定性的，则要用WHICH引导，而且要用逗号和主句隔开。供参考

解释得挺好，觉得OG11好像就是这么解释的。但是请看这道：

OG11－77  Even though the direct costs of malpractice disputes amounts to a sum lower than 1 percent of the $541 billion the nation spent on health care last year, doctors say （that）fear of lawsuits plays a major role in health-care inflation.

amounts to a sum lower

amounts to less                             

amounted to less ,

amounted to lower

amounted to a lower sum

最后一句话也是省略了that吧？

这是一个宾语从句，而不是定语从句，限定性和非限定词从句（至少上上面我们讨论的这种）都是就定语从句而言的。

宾语从句的关系代词（that等）如果在句中作宾语，则该关系代词可以省略，但gmat中一般不省略，这个也许是个特例？如果有别的例子，告诉欧一声，继续关注中.....

以前好像有大侠说过“That引导定语从句，在从句中作表语或宾语时可省略。”

OG9.

Astronomers at the Palomar Observatory have discovered a distant supernova explosion, one that they believe is a type previously unknown to science.

(A)  that they believe is

(B)  that they believe it to be

(C)  they believe that it is of

(D)  they believe that is

(E)   they believe to be of

Choice E is best. The pronoun that in A and B should be deleted, since the pronoun one is sufficient to introduce the modifier and the sentence is more fluid without that.
        

snowfield

上例中that从句同样是一个定语从句，修饰one；one是supernova explosion的同位语。

gmat中定语从句的引导词一般也不省略，不过欧需要在捉摸捉摸这一点.....

“og对C选项的解释中说instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically不太理解”

同问，谢谢指教

snowfield

gmat中划线部分的宾语从句的引导词that一般不能省略，OG11-35 (AC，…have found that…)，OG11-121B Claim that…, OG8 think that…，即便并列宾语从句的that最好也要保留以保持结构的清晰；(og11-137 The company announced that… and that…)。og11-77只能理解为一个特例。

我也觉得无数题都说了：that做定语从句的宾语时可以省略，并且把没有省略的作为wordy。不知道这里怎么回事？

另外还是不明白BCDE的rather to/instead to到底怎么not complete the sentence idiomatically。是不是要用rather than，并且instead不能接to？（要是换成instead of呢？如果能够句子结构对称的话）
