答案好像是选A

考察predict接宾从是否虚拟；due to用法；时态；

open to discuss

选C吧，A中用现在完成进行时是错误的
现在完成进行时表示某动作从过去某个时间开始，一直延续到现在，并且还有可能持续下去
而这里predict是非连续动词不能用进行时
用过去式更好的表明federal reserve raised是发生在predict之前

个人觉得是因为"b/c of economy's continued strength"过于awkward..
我记得是选C吧
自己也是一头雾水的

清飞扬

A. because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will --> two parallel action: have been predicting is correctly compared to has raised. Will is also correct
B. with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target -->it wrongly means that the economic strength of the Federal Reserve is continuing. Besides, be after target is ungrammatically used
C. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would -->two incompatible tense actions, economy continues strong and analysts predicted. They must be both in the same tense because 2 action happen at the same time
D. due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target -->same error as B
E. due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will --> will should be would to be suitable with predicted
