"The report"(主要主詞) on the gross national product-the nation'stotal production of goods and services-"showed"(主要動詞) that second-quarter inflation was somewhat lower than .........

看到畫線部分有"and"----->想到平衡法 本題是要平衡 showed 後面的兩個that子句, 所以找and that
A....and the saving....錯囉
B....and with............真可惜也錯了
C....and that.....看看 好像可以保留
D....and a slightly.....哈哈 又錯了
E....and that......好像也對唷

比較C/E
C....時態不對唷, 整個句子都是過去式, 所以不應該出現現在式的"is"
E....就剩你啦,既平衡時態也沒錯

PS 不過我想要請問一下其他大大
那ABC這邊的 a previous estimation 是不是因為太囉唆了 所以不選呢
還是說在這邊用名詞就是不對阿!!!!

PPS 本站抓注音文的功能實在是太強大啦!!!!佩服佩服,有的時候依不小心就會打了
注音文出來了,實在事應該好好反省一下,我去面壁思過去了!!!

個人淺見,比較級中比較要同類
second-quarter inflation無法與a previous estimation(先前的預估,是指什麼的預估呢)做比較
second-quarter inflation是與second-quarter inflation previously estimated 比較
但因為second-quarter inflation前面已經出現過,需省略,只留下previously estimated
