29[95]. Along with the drop in producer prices announced yesterday, the strong retail sales figures released today seem like it is indicative that the economy, although growing slowly, is not nearing a recession.

(A)  like it is indicative that

(B) as if to indicate

(C) to indicate that

(D) indicative of

(E)  like an indication of

答案是c

og11中关于b地解释说，the verb seem may be followed by as if in some contexts...

我的问题是，seem as if 在什么情况下用是对的？在这里又为什么错了？

谢谢指教！

我不是牛牛，凭语感选C阿，seem to do 就是“好像”的意思；至于seem as if，看下面的：

需要引导从句的，而且从句要用虚拟语气，这里面的B显然不符合！

【注意】在It seems/seemed as if...句型中，从句的谓语动词常用虚拟语气来表示所设想的事情不可能发生。例如：It seems as if she had read this novel.看来她好像看过这本小说。但如果句中的情况可能发生或可能被设想为真实，则仍然用陈述语气。例如：It seems as if our team is going to win.看来我们队要胜了。It seems as if he has learned by heart a speech written by someone else.看来他像是背了一篇由别人写的演讲稿。

like为介词后面可以加名词，那么E应该是对的？难道是因为词性优先级的问题所以不选吗？

我明白因为E后面没有引导从句的that，所以不选他，那单独E后面如果没有那个从句的话对不对？
