Q33:
Retail sales rose 8/10 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.

A.that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of
B.that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double
C.of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it more than doubled
D.of personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubling that of
E.of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it would more than double that of

Ans: B

請問of personal spending 為什麼不行??
A錯哪裡ㄚ??

[Penny Lee]

expectation 後面加的是子句, 所以用that來引導子句好

A中的that指的是personal spending
但是根據未畫線處的說明, 句意要表達的是"在前一季個人花費中,超過1.4%成長率的雙倍", 注意沒畫線的地方
比較物不同, 不能用that來比較不同的東西
還原A的話將會變成: that personal spending in the July-September quarter more thatn doubled "personal spending" of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.
有發現句意變的很奇怪嗎?
