1.Contrary to the scholarly wisdom of the 1950’s and early 1960’s that predicted the processes of modernization and rationalization would gradually undermine it, ethnicity is a worldwide phenomenon of increasing importance.

(A) would gradually undermine it
(B) to be a gradual undermining of it
(C) would be a gradual undermining of ethnicity
(D) to gradually undermine ethnicity（A）
(E) gradually undermining it

predicted 和 would undermine之间没连词 不是成了run-on句子了吗。。。

that不是修饰wisdom的主语从句吗 那将从句变主句不就是 wisdom predicted the processes of modernization and rationalization would gradually undermine ethnicity 吗  predict 后不用接that吗  后面有个undermine喔。。。

宾语从句本来就不一定要有that连接的，特别在于三种情况：
1. 省略that不会造成句子读起来混淆成分。
2. 如果是作为从句里的从句，为避免awkward都不用that。
3. 如果附近已经有了that，一般就不能再用that。
所以……predicted后面的that是被省略了。
