Question 9

by anshulagarwal12 » Sun Aug 05, 2012 3:18 am
According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year in for a "soft landing", followed by a gradual increase in business activity

a. that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year
b. in the economy to avoid the recession, that many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
c. in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
d. in the economy to avoid the recession many was fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
e. that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming

Here, I rejected A & E because I preferred "in" over that
D usage of tense is not correct
C economy's ability is redundant

So I choose B. But answer is A. can anyone explain?
