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.

(A)            that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come

(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

答案是A没问题，可是关于其他几项的解释不是很清楚。

查了老帖子，还是不清楚为什么rather to come, instead to come       does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically. 这个second part 指哪部分。

thanks!

我也有同样的疑问，问OG解释说是不完整呢？ 我觉得很完整了，

in the economy to avoid the recession, rather to come in for a "soft landing

在BCD三个选项中，因为rather/instead to come之前用了逗号，就使其中的come和前文中the gains in the stock market reflect中的reflect处在同一个层次上，都是描写the gains的。这样逗号以后的部分，我想也就是OG解释里面所说的第二部分，在逻辑上就是不完整的或者说有问题的。

不知道能否这样理解，还请各位NN明示
