[語文] GWD7-Q40

GWD7-Q40:

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest
rate target five times, and because of the economy's continued strength,
analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised
again in November.

A. because of the economy's continued strength, analysts have been
   predicting for weeks that the target will
B. with the economy's strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks
   that the target
C. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks
   that the target would
D. due to the economy's continued strength, analysts have been predicting
   for weeks that the target
E. due to the fact of the economy's continued strength, analysts predicted
   for weeks that the target will

既然答案是A
那就請問一下大家如果看到這題要怎麼解
我是一開始看到D E 就直接殺了 因為be due to
B用with明顯不對
在A C間徘徊
覺得Predict 應該要用will (老莫說的)
但是我還是選了C = =|||
有人可以幫忙寫的完整的解答嗎?
感謝!!

→ SF0424:是不是因為due to擺句首不好
推 roxxieee:我認為是and和beacuse同是連接詞重覆到了
→ roxxieee:不過我一開始也被騙...
推 taikin:這個PP3 的SC2 有耶..#172...不過答案是A

推 taikin:我覺得是時態耶, 依照句意, analyst 的predict不會在Fed
→ taikin:raise rate 之前吧....參考參考。..我是這樣選A的啦
推 roxxieee:會不會是 (1) and前後時態平衡 所以都要用完成式 剩A和D
→ roxxieee:(2) b/c of 比 due to好 (3) predict 要用未來式 will
→ roxxieee:所以選A  是這樣嗎?! (unsure)
推 taikin:給樓上,我跟你考量的點一樣耶 哈哈
推 twalice:for weeks...i would use present perfect....
推 tootoobenee:如大大所言, 第一步我會先刪沒有連墜動詞的due to
推 tootoobenee:第二步刪除獨立結構的with, 因為和修飾的主詞沒有
→ tootoobenee:have的關係, 第三步用時態合理性排除C選項, 因為因果
→ tootoobenee:關係未來為因,過去式為果句意邏輯不通
→ sneak: 會不會是 (1) an https://muxiv.com
