请教that的省略问题

hoteldeville

请问that什么时候可以省略，什么时候不可以省略呢？
Manhattan说当that的指代内容做宾语时，可以省略。
OG50.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

说第一个that不可省略。但是that指代growing confidence，不是做宾语吗？为什么不能省略？
谢谢。

50  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

解释：
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.
The correct answer is A.

D选项解释里 “The recession must be followed by that”，这里的that难道不是修饰recession的定语从句“that many had feared earlier in the year ”里充当的宾语吗？为什么这个that不能省略呢？

我的理解是，that表示一个整体的概念，即the economy will这一件事情。去掉that,则表部分概念，即the economy这一个东西。

manhatton上说的应该不是that修饰宾语可省略  而是  that 引导宾语从句的时候 可以省略   这里 the condidence that 是引导的同位语
