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

看了之前的讨论，关于此题的很多疑点一直没有一个很好的解释，再次总结提出一下。

1。（A）为什么用过去时had feared？

2。（B）的解释说what cannot replace that, what可以翻成the thing that, 这里不是挺好吗?

3。 OG解释说rather to come/instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically，什么意思呢？

其实，这题说容易也容易，可以根据come和avoid的平行来排除B/C/D/E，不过以上几点实在是想不通啊，望NN们来解释一下，谢谢。

又研究了一下NN们的贴子，现在Q1和Q3解决了，Q2仍然不太明白=.=

同时又冒出来一个新问题

OG对D的解释中说recession must be followed by that, 和很多人一样觉得这个that在定语从句中做宾语，应该可以省略的丫

继续请教NN中。
