通过搜索之前的帖子，看到关于这题已经有不少的讨论了，可是还是没有解决我的问题。

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，以下OG11的解释

Grammatical construction + Rhetorical construction

The original sentence successfully avoids the problems that may occur in a long sentence with multiple modifiers. Two subordinate clauses begin with that, and one of them is contained within another. That many had feared earlier in the year clearly defines the recession. That the economy will avoid ... and instead (will understood) come... is the subordinate clause that follows the main clause; its subject, economy, is followed by two parallel verbs, will avoid and (will understood) come. Instead before the second verb properly indicates contrast.

A Correct. This sentence contains two correct subordinate clauses introduced by that.

D The recession must be followed by that, were fearing is the wrong tense; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically
                

我选择的是D，关于解释，我有几点不太明白。首先为什么The recession must be followed by that？，其次 were fearing is the wrong tense，这里我有点印象是不是像fear这类的感官词都不可以用进行时态？记忆很模糊了，不太确定。然后rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically ， 为什么说没有complete？

多谢大牛们指教！

这道题我觉得用come而不用rather to come的原因就是前面那个and　正好是一个对称结构　和前面的avoid对应的．．

fear好象没大见过进行时．．．不敢下定论．．

谢谢，还有谁能解释解释么？

The recession must be followed by that 是因为GMAT觉得省略了that不够formal吧。（确实，语法上来说，这里的这个that是可以省略的）

表感情的词一般都不用进行时，例如，大家会说I like you. 而不会说 I am liking you. 另外，这种表感情的词本身就内含一种延续的意思，所以也不需要用进行时了。

至于rather，and rather to come在这里确实是不对的，你要表达这种“instead”的意思，要不就用rather than，要不就用not...but rather， and rather这种用法无论如何也是不对的。

另外，我认为 D中的 to avoid    ...to come  的逻辑主语不清楚
