请教OG12 16题，关于逗号+that

alex318

B选项里that从句的谓语是什么啊。。。。。

黑絔电视

From ManhattanGMAT forum: As Ron stated:

this sentence is actually ungrammatical.
you can't say "expectations of X(,) that it would do Y". that's wrong whether there's a comma or not.
the correct form would be "the expectation that X would do Y", which is precisely the form of choice (b).
if you're going to say "expectations of X", then that's the entirety of the construction; X must be a noun (or a gerund), and that's it.

If you want to have a single noun as the object, then use a prepositional phrase. If you want to introduce a thought with a noun and a verb, you need something different, in this case, the conjunction "that".

在这里再做个NOTE吧，Manhattan P158， SUSPECT:" There is an expectation of price falling" GMAT avoid 的句子。

Ron的解释让我豁然开朗啊。 但是他后面说的If you want to have a single noun as the object, then use a prepositional phrase. If you want to introduce a thought with a noun and a verb, you need something different, in this case, the conjunction "that". 我没太看懂

actually, 他最后的意思就是总结一下。
如果你想要一个完整的名词作为宾语，用expectation of X(must be noun or gerund); 即说明并非这个结构就一定错，要看怎么用。
但如果你想要对那个expectation有所说明（用一个主语+谓语的完整结构，即introduce the thought with a noun and a verb)， 那么你就需要用THAT来引导一个句子啦
综上，ron宏观的回答了一下以后再遇到类似问题怎么判断 酱。

同问that：D选项OG说没有技术性错误，只是没有B好。把D带入：Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in Augus ...

关于B，D的选择，需要根据题意来判断。
B.intensify expectations that spending would double....
C. intensify expectations of spending doubling ...

B很清楚地说明：expectation is " spending would double" 这件事。
而C作成modifier使用：“expectation of spending doubling...." , 其中修饰语"doubling..." 似乎是可有可无的，重点变成了 ”expectation of spending", 与原始句意相悖。

Great tip!  " there is an expectation of ..." Gmat中不提倡使用

这道题为什么大家没有问D为什么错呢？
