Many experts regarded the large increase in credit card borrowing in March not as a sign that households were pressed for cash and forced to borrow, rather a sign of confidence by households that they could safely handle new debt.
A rather a sign of confidence by households that they could safely
B yet as a sign of households' confidence that it was safe for them to
C but a sign of confidence by households that they could safely
D but as a sign that households were confident they could safely
E but also as a sign that households were confident in their ability safely to
我的问题是：
1 为什么confidence by households 就不能表示households are confident? 这个问题，之前也有CDER问过，可是都没有得到解答，还望高人指点~
2 为什么it was safe for them to handle new debt就显示不出是谁发出handle new debt的动作呢？？？It is adj for sb to do 不是很常见的一个句式么？？还是说这里问题在于households是在所有格里是一个poor antecedent (如DUKB24前辈在http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-755902-1-1.html帖子中提过)，但是这个them 是在描述households' confidence的从句当中的，应当不能说会有指代experts的歧义吧？？百思不得其解啊，gmatclub和beatthegmat上都找不到解答，求助各路大神！

刚刚看了一下这个题，就看到是：not a sign but a sign这个并列关系结构，秒杀D；
对于LZ的问题试着解答一下：
1.先来看下逻辑含义：很多专家认为信用卡使用的增加不是家庭主妇有压力不得不借贷的标志，而是她们有能力处理新债务信心的标志。
根据logic，这里有一个习惯表达为regard … not as … but as …，
2.关于confidence，很明显by+sb，是一个被动的表达方式，在prefer选项的时候当然主动地发出，优于被动的得到；再来个prefer结构：V-A-N，明显形容词confident优于confidence，但是就我个人而言，并不觉得是硬伤，只是一个prefer的表达方式。

3.it was safe for them to handle new debt，并不是表达的问题，是逻辑含义出了问题“处理新债务对她们来说是安全的”，再加上modifier-safely的位置及形式的改变，很明显发现it形式主语的表达有偏于原文含义
