关于there be 等等。。。

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) have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally
(B) raised 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 a recovery finally

OG解释：The subject of the first clause, the singular noun surge, must take the singular verb has raised rather than the plural have raised. It is superfluous and pointless to say that people hope both that there is a recovery and that such a recovery is underway. In this context, there is adds nothing and can be omitted to create a more concise sentence.


A     Subject and verb do not agree; there is .. .finally underway is awkward and wordy.
B     For there being is awkward and wordy.
C     Had raised is the wrong verb tense; for... being is awkward and wordy.
D     Correct. In this sentence, the subject and verb agree, and the verb is in the appropriate tense; a recovery isfinally is clear and concise.
E     For a recovery finally is awkward and—to the extent that it can be seen as grammatical—does not make sense.


我的疑问是：（1）for there being 是必错结构吗？
                     （2）A选项中 there is 结构awkward在哪里？
                     （3）如果C选项是has raised hopes for a recovery finally 对不对呢？
问题颇多，感谢好人回答~~~~

回答你的问题，
1） 是的。当to VS for的时候，除了一个例外，都是to胜利。这个例外就是当前面的谓语动词是provide（d）的时候，由于固定搭配for，所以不用to。参考OG中一道，具体第几题不记得了。。。
2）there be仅仅用于描述自然界的现象和状态，其他都不对。至于awkward可能是句子结构不简洁。不用纠结awkward在哪里。。。感觉那是说给native听的。。。
3）句子主句的宾语是hopes，用that引导从句修饰hopes使得句子结构清晰简洁，比起for being好太多。。。正确句子是比较出来的，比起简洁明了的hopes that完败呀。。。而且hopes that结构实在长得太亲切了。。。必须对呀....
