你好
(1)had feared这个Past Perfect用法在这道题里确实比较tricky,当时我也想了半天。其实你可以根据meaning分析一下time line (从过去到现在): 过去的过去(earlier in the year):economy was bad>>people were worried>>过去(recently or later in the year):stock market was good>>>将来:economy will have a soft landing
the past perfect is used for ENDURING ACTIONS/STATES that are STILL ONGOING at some LATER PAST TIMEFRAME.
所以people had feared既是一个enduring actions, 又是发生在stock market变好之前的一个动作。所以没问题。当然,people feared. 简单的过去式也对。但是were fearing 是不对的,因为从meaning 上是强调人们过去担心过,但是现在不担心了。而不是强调人们过去那一刻正在担心。for example: I worried about you before, but now I don't. 是对的。而I was worrying about you, but now I don't. 是不对的。
(2) 关于D中的that 的问题:首先原则是that加上一定不会错,但是不加一定要保证that要modify的对象是准确的。
而D中由于growing confidence in economy 后面接了个to avoid recession, 不定代词作修饰(虽然to avoid recession在意思上就是错的,因为在这里不能表目的), 不加that, 容易让读者误解成为了modify economy.
