98. The financial crash of October 1987 demonstrated that the world's capital markets are integrated more closely than never before and events in one part of the global village may be transmitted to the rest of the village--almost instantaneously.

(A)            integrated more closely than never before and

(B)            closely integrated more than ever before so

(C)            more closely integrated as never before while

(D)            more closely integrated than ever before and that

(E)            more than ever before closely integrated as

请问，为什么正确答案D中and后面一定要加that呢？我认为不加也可以阿，不是可以表示the cause and the effect的关系么，但是如果加了，它们之间应该就没有任何关系了，不是么？

demonstrate that .... and that ... 明确并列关系

否则的话，events maybe transmitted to the rest of the villeage 是完整句子，and 前要有逗号的。

另，and 不能明示因果关系，还是用 so, etc.  吧。
