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

OG的解释：
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.

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

一问： B选项的解释是 what不能被that替代。可是that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
二问： D选项的解释是recession后面必须有that，为什么that不可能省略？
请nn赐教

答一：虽然B选项的解释为此处what不能被that替代，但并没说that在此处完全替代what引导非限制性定语从句。替代的同时还需要去掉前面的逗号,that不能引导非限定性定从。

(D)           in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come

省去that会造成many were fearing与come in并列的歧义
所以不能省去
