定从that作宾语不补出也算错？/

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

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 flared 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.

B     What cannot replace that, the economy to avoid the recession is awkward and unclear; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically

C     Earlier in the year should follow many had feared, rather than preceding it; instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically

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

E      The passive voice construction that was feared is weak and wordy; with it instead coming is awkward, wordy, and ungrammatical

The correct answer is A.

D解释为什么说the recession后面的定从必须不出that，而这个that在定从中做宾语的

顶一下

我记得gmat语法里面宾语从句的that一定不能省略.

至少XDF是这么说的.

sabriye

那这题呢？？都没有人看啊

c答案就是典型的把that省掉的错误选项吧.

gwd的题里面有很多这种宾从省that的选项都是可以直接过掉的错误选项.相信你多做做就习惯了.

这里不是宾语从句哦，是定语从句that在从句中从当宾语而已

我感觉OG把confidence写成recession了，confidence后面一定要补出that，而rcession后面的定从关系代词that补不补出是不要紧的(不能作为判断标准，虽然that在定从中做宾语的话倾向于不补出)。

谢谢了，版主出手就是能好！

that不能省是因为它在这里引导restrictive clause（不知道这个中文怎么说），不然的话，它夹在the economy will avoid the recession 和 and instead come in for a “soft landing,”中间是会用逗号隔开的。这个选项中confidence后没有从句，所以是不需要加that的。

umm...我的意思是，The recession must be followed by that应该改成The confidence must be followed by that.

如果要看recession后的that我们省略去A中的这个that:
that the economy will avoid the recession many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
省去that不会有had feared与come并列歧义，所以我认为是可以的.

5.    As its sales of computer products have surpassed those of measuring instruments, the company has become increasingly willing to compete for the mass market sales they would in the past have conceded to rivals.
(A) they would in the past have conceded to rivals
(B) they would have conceded previously to their rivals
(C) that in the past would have been conceded previously to rivals
(D) it previously would have conceded to rivals in the past
(E) it would in the past have conceded to rivals
key:E
画线部分是一个定语从句前面省略了that.
