2.     Consumer confidence levels, which many economists consider an early indication of the economy’s direction, sagged as the stock market tumbled, but not dramatically enough for giving a clear picture of new spending patterns.

(A) tumbled, but not dramatically enough for giving

(B) tumbled, but not dramatically enough to give

(C) tumbled, and not so dramatically as to have given

(D) has tumbled, and not dramatically enough to give

(E) has tumbled, but not so dramatically as to give   

Answer: B

没有搜到讨论过的帖子。想请教一下，不是说如果enough出现在划线部分不对吗？还是因为本题D、E用了完成时错误，所以只能选B？如果E不是完成时态，是不是就比B好？

1. read the sentence, "but" is necessary to express the turning point. so, C & D are out.

2. "sagged" is past tense, "has tumbled" present tense, they do not match. E is out.

3. Enough to do is the proper term, A is out.

That leaves B.
