not...but rather 的用法比较严格，要求完全平行的结构（因为就等于是not ... but)，而用instead则没有对结构平行的要求。如上题，若改成the economy will not fall in recession that ...， but rather will come in for a “soft landing”，我觉得应该就可以了。类似的例句在Longman里还有：The local medical men did not object, but rather commended them for their cheapness.
而instead的用法则比较灵活，longman的解释是“used to say what is done, when you have just said that a particular thing is not done”。例如上句（改动后的）也能改成：the economy will not fall in recession that ...；Instead, it will come in for a “soft landing” 或 the economy will not fall in recession that ...。 It will come in for a “soft landing” instead. 这里instead可翻译为“相反的”。而我尚没有找到rather单独表示这个意思的用法
C后半部分 and instead to come是idiomatic 但是前面的部分in economy's ability recession，sth. in the earler year many had feared 是unidiomatic 首先可以看出C比A wordy ＋ability, sth.引导的这个成分 你可能要说这个是同位语 但是我觉得用that引导的限定定语从句解释recession更好 而且还有一点就是时间状语in the earlier year的位子变化了 A句修饰的是feared C句修饰的是sth. 修饰对象的不同会造成句意的不同
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？
最后一句话也是省略了that吧？
斗胆插一句：我对OG的理解是say, claim等等这些要加that的结构 that的省略应该是一种错 虽然罪不至死 但是也可以作为排除选项的依据 但是对于有些that限定性的定语从句而言如 one reason (that) I chose to leave这里that的省略被看作是合理的 所以绝对不能为排除的依据 that的省还是不省分为几种情况 实在抱歉 我没有对OG上的情况加以总结 所以只能提供片面之词供大家参考
非常同意楼上MM对(A)(C)选项区别的解释,但是仍使我迷惑的是,OG11上的确是说了 "instead to come"does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.我可能有一些不知变通, 但是确实是非常想弄清楚为什么,再次请教 ~~!!
