28. The rise in the Commerce Department's index of leading economic indicators suggest that the economy
should continue its expansion into the coming months. but that the mixed performance of the index's individual
components indicates that economic growth will proceed at a more moderate pace than in the first
quarter of this year.
(A) suggest that the economy should continue its expansion into the coming months, but that
(B) suggest that the economy is to continue expansion in the coming months, but
(C) suggests that the economy will continue its expanding in the coming months, but that
(D) suggests that the economy is continuing to expand into the coming months, but that
(E) suggests that the economy will continue to expand in the coming months, but


OG 解答
In choices A and B, the verb suggest does not agree with its singular subject, rise. In context, the phrase into
the coming months in A and D is not idiomatic; in the coming months is preferable. In A, C, and D, the that
appearing after but creates a subordinate clause where an independent clause is needed for the new subject,
mixed performance. Choice E includes the correct verb form, suggests, eliminates that, and properly employs
the future tense, will continue to expand. That this tense is called for is indicated both by the future time to
which the coming months refers and by the parallel verb form will proceed in the nonunderlined part of the
sentence. Choice E is best.

想請問以上紅色字的部份是什麼意思啊?請各位大大不吝解釋一下.

call for
to demand that something happens

這裡應該是說 可以從 the coming months 和 沒畫線部分的 will proceed...
這兩個地方看出要使用 future tense

That this tense is called for is indicated....

１．這裡的That是代替什麼呢?可以用what嗎?
２．call for是用被動式?該怎麼翻成中文呢?

That this tense is called for is indicated....

１．這裡的That是代替什麼呢?可以用what嗎?
２．call for是用被動式?該怎麼翻成中文呢?

1. "That this tense is called for" 這是名詞子句，that 在名詞子句裏面是當從屬連接詞，不是關代。
2. call for ==> demand ，就是"需要"的意思... 例如conference 的海報都會寫"Call for papers..."

請教(C)......continue its expanding..........正確嗎?

[hsudk]

不正確。continue 後面要接名詞，expand 的名詞是expansion，沒有expanding作動名詞的用法。若要用continue its expansion 是可以的，但沒有continue to expand 來得好。

我想問c的解釋 為什麼解答說 its expanding is awkward?????

OG 標準解釋: Ving 不適合當所有格的受詞.
GMAT SC 裡, "所有格+Ving" 必錯!
