14. Contrary to financial analysts, who predicted last year that the market for home computers would dwindle, the personal computer industry continued to show strong growth in the first quarter of this year.

A. analysts, who predicted
B. analysts, whose predictions
C. analysts and their predictions
D. analysts’predicting
E. analysts’predictions

答案是E，我選A，A哪裡不對呢？

請指教，謝謝．

開頭的Contrary to 應該是相對的
所以A的相對於分析家......個人電腦業持續成長 (比較不同類)
E的意思 相對於分析家的預期....個人電腦業持續成長(合理)
再請其他高手高手補充

from Longman,
contrary to popular belief/opinion used to say that something is true even though people believe the opposite:
Contrary to popular belief, a desert can be very cold.

所以 contrary to +N 當介係詞片語修飾全句時,那個名詞通常是某種意見.
