74．The bank holds$3 billion in loans that are seriously delinquent or in such trouble that they do not expect payments when due．

(A)  they do not expect payments when

(B)  it does not expect payments when it is

(C)  it does not expect payments to be made when they are

(D)  payments are not to be expected to be paid when

(E)  payments are not expected to be paid when they will be

看OG的解释和CD以往的帖子，都说C选项中的it是指代bank，我的问题是：bank可以expect吗？这好像是人才能有的动作吧。

盼复，谢谢！

我做时选成了D,哪位NN可以解释下?

molemod

正确答案是C.
词组是MAKE PAYMENTS (OR A PAYMENT). IT指代THE BANK. THEY 指代PAYMENTS.
BANK不是桌子椅子,可以贷款,催款,作为行为的主体.

谢谢 molemod,以下是我在Longman 词典上找的例句,希望对大家学习有帮助:

You can make a payment in any bank.

He makes monthly payments into his ex-wife's bank account.
