OA：A

所有的问题主要就是集中在OG对于B/C/D3个选项的解释上

（B）What cannot replace that ;  the economy to avoid the recession  is awkward and unclear; rather to come doesnot complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.

Q1：the economy to avoid the recession  is awkward and unclear

看了Manhattan forum Stacey的解析，说这个confidence in economy 不符合语言习惯，应当使用that引导从句，自己也查了下longman，确实木有发现confidence in sb to do的，基本上都是confidence in sb/sth，所以说就是因为后面跟了to do这个表达方式就是不符合习惯的对咩咩？？？？？？？

answer:习语问题+句意含义问题，done

Q2： rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.

这个问题没得到满意的解释，再顶。。。。顶。。。。。

answer：rather to do这个结构是一个错误结构，，，

至于下面讨论中提到的rather adj to do的问题跟这个问题不是一个话题，，，，

（C）  instead to come  does not complete the second part of thesentence idiomatically。

Q3：不太明白，顶

（D)the recession must be followed by  that

Q4：这里这个定从 的that不能省略，因为要避免并列的歧义？可是有啥歧义呢？

rather to come does

not complete thesecond part of the sentence idiomatically.

Q5：同B/C，不明白，顶

从语法上比较确定的一点事rather后面是没有to do这种结构的，只有rather do/doing

1. to不定式一般表目的，这里the economy to avoid the recession表目的不对。
2. 没有rather to do的结构来表比较。
3. 只有instead of，没有instead to。
4. 定语从句不能省略that。

（B）What cannot replace that ;  the economy to avoid the recession  is awkward and unclear; rather to come doesnot complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.
Q1：the economy to avoid the recession  is awkward and unclear
一般to do表目的，而在这里跟在economy的后面，有经济自身为了避免衰退的意思，不合逻辑。
Q2： rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.

这句话的意思应该是confidence的两个方面，一个是避免衰退一个是软着陆，这两个方面应该是并列的用来修饰confidence的，而这里rather to 与前句中间用逗号隔开就显得不完整了。C选项也有这个意思


个人想法，仅供参考哈~
