Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the july-september quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter. 

a)

b) that personal spending in the july-september quarter would more than double

c)of personal spending in the july-september iquarter, that it more than doubled

d)of personal spending in the july-september quarter more than doubling that of

e) of personal spending in the july-september quarter, that is would more than double that of

OG12上说d选项although this option is not technically wrong, it is less clear and graceful than B,是不是意味着不能由expectation that /of 判断正误？另外这句话应该怎么翻译呢？这题的做题步骤应该是怎么样的？另外more than 后面能跟动词？

长猪的翅膀

是由expectation that /of判断优劣
概括性抽象名词+that从句 优于 概括性抽象名词+of doing形式
OG解释的没错呀

做题顺序 就是先把CDE干掉，然后AB比较，发现A中that of多余，所以选B

double这个词可以做动词、形容词、副词，用法较多，只有它能如句中这么用，当然还有triple和quadruple

请问这句话什么意思？什么叫rose 0.8 of 1 percent？

以下是引用dawnning在2009/8/26 22:26:00的发言：
请问这句话什么意思？什么叫rose 0.8 of 1 percent？

增加了1.8个百分点。

more than 是副词短语，可修饰动词

阿乌

估计LZ笔误了，是增加了0.8个百分点。
google 出这么一句话“The incomes of the top one-tenth of 1 percent (0.1 percent) of
U.S. households have grown more rapidly than the incomes of the top 1
percent of households as a whole, rising by 94 percent — or $3.5
million per household — since 2002.”
貌似是有 three-tenth of 1 percent 等等这些说法。

给你一个OG12的官方解释；
The sentence explains the expectations that resulted from a past retail sales trend. Since expectations look to the future but are not yet realized, the relative clause explaining these expectations should be conditional, employing the auxiliart verb "would".

如果去掉that of，就变成了：personal spending doubled the 1.4% growth rate in personal spending.

我觉得一点儿也不通啊……好像不parallel
