这题，我排除E的思路很简单——因为原句中用现在完成时没问题，所以不能改。E的过去时，从逻辑意思上看，也 ...

找到正解了，多谢版主姐姐分析，看来E中最主要的问题还是时态问题，因为主句中economists预测这个recovery可能不会再持续了，这个地方可看出这个必须要用现在完成时，才能表现recovery持续至今这层含义~所以E中的问题还是在meaning上！

baby姐  ，那就是说hope for 和hope that 在这里不是排除的知识点了？那这两个短语有什么不同么

赞 OG的解释确实很敷衍！！！ 我一开始以为是我太钻牛角尖了

这是我在国外的gmat. forum 上看到的
Time frame is not given, so past tense will not be used. so B and E should be eliminated.
我想问simple past tense，是一定要有time frame的吗？


关于E答案为什么错？他是这样解释的
One way to say it is --- in the business world, and on the GMAT, decisive action is a good thing. Verbs are inherently the "action words" of any sentence. If you have a choice of describing an action with a verb vs. without a verb, 99 times out of 100 it will be wrong on the GMAT to describe an action without a verb. Consider (E) --- what are we hoping? "for a recovery finally under way." That's essentially an action without any verb. Not ideal on the GMAT.

Furthermore, it's an awkward construction. As a general rule, the construction the GMAT most likes with the word "hope" are
1) so-and-so hopes to do X (hope + infinitive)
2) so-and-so hopes that A does Y (hope plus substantive clause beginning with "that")
The GMAT frowns on
3) hope + participle
4) hope + (action with no verb at all)

The OA, (D), is of the form (hope + "that"-clause), a correct form, whereas (E) is of the form (verb + no-verb phrase), which is incorrect.
