3.Although a surge in retail sales have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally under way ,many economists say that without a large amount of spending the recovery might not last.
(A)
(B)rasied hopes for there being a recovery finally
(C)had raised hopes for a recovery finally being
(D)has raised hopes  that a recovery is finally
(E)raised hopes for s recovery finally

og关于E答案的解释：For a recovery finally is awkward and-to the extent that it can be seen as gammatical-does not make sense.
我怎么觉得E答案是时态错误呢？且我不觉得For a recovery finally is awkward
麻烦大家给解惑下

hopes for a recovery期望一个【东西】
hopes that a recovery is finally under way期望一个【事件的发生】
以上两种表达都make sense，但是"hopes for a recovery finally under way"表示期望一个recovery，什么样的recovery呢？已经under way了，盼望一个已经实现的东西， awkward。

关于这个问题，在别的帖子看到的，感觉也不错，现也粘贴过来

--- 其他论坛的讨论帖，摘录如下，主要是 hope for 可以理解为一个短语

Received a PM asking me to reply. If we were to read it as:

"raised hopes for X <a recovery finally underway>"

Is that what we were hoping for? A "recovery finally underway"? What does that mean? If we just want to talk about what we're hoping for, we're hoping for a recovery.

If we want to get more complicated, we could also say that we hope that something is true: that a recovery was finally underway. But we actually have to spell that out - I'm not just hoping for a noun: recovery. I'm hoping that something is true about that recovery - that it has already started.

The other thing you can use here (and I don't know why the explanation doesn't say this): answer E changes the tense. Now, we could write this sentence using present perfect or we could write it using past - both are okay. But they do mean two different things, obviously: present perfect means it's still true that the hopes are raised and simple past means it was just in the past. We're supposed to stick with the original meaning... so don't pick E.

awkward:
hope for+n.  
hope that…(句子)..
要么希望要一个东西，要么希望某件事情是真的/能实现，前者用for,后者用that. （这就是规律）
但题目中hope for…being…的结构其实是企图用hope for的结构来表达hope that的意思。因为人们是希望“复苏最终到来/实现”，是希望这件事能实现，而不是recovery本身。
如非要用hope for 那后面的名词就不应该是recovery，而应是”复苏的到来”。本人能力有限，不知道表达。但你能明白就好
