[問題]OG250_that 的位置擺放

[ustoday]

250. The company announced that its profits declined much less in the second quarter than analysts had expected it to and its business will improve in the second half of the year.

(A) had expected it to and its business will improve
(B) had expected and that its business would improve
(C) expected it would and that it will improve its business
(D) expected them to and its business would improve
（E）expected and that it will have improved its business

B

OG有一段解釋很奇怪 有沒有了解
Choices A and D fail to maintain parallel structure: properly formed, the construction would have that after expected to parallel that after announced.

that why 要加在expect 後面以跟announced that 平行
不是應該是要在and 後面加that 才對 (如正確答案B)
拜託大家嚕

[freshmanduke]

他的解釋是說
expected 後的and要加that而不是說expect後直接加that
og的解釋有時是挺模擬兩可 記的要看清楚

[ustoday]

照常裡判斷 也應該是在and 後面加that
釋因為沒在解釋裡看到and 所以才懷疑的
anyway
感謝freshmanduke

想請教一下這句的省略還原是下列哪個:

1)its profits declined much less in the second quarter than analysts had expected (its profits to declined ): 看似合理,可是不知是主語和主語比or受詞和受詞比

2)its profits declined much less in the second quarter than (the profits that) analysts had expected : 看起來主詞和主詞比

不確定哪個正確,請高手幫忙鑑定一下!!Thanks!!
