sunny：OG28. 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.中，未划线部分的economic growth will proceed at a more moderate pace than in the first quarter of this year
可以改写为：economic growth will proceed at a more moderate pace in coming months than in the first quarter of this year吧。不就象本题中的this year than last year吗？

不一样，前面一题是there be结构，这一题是主动结构，可以省略主谓，直接用时间状语代替即可。如果省略there be的话，就变成前面的there be和后面last year比较了，会引起混淆，所以必须补齐there be结构。

妙啊！惭愧啊！
另外想问一下：此题是否与OG60题的选项异曲同工？

sussu

i think B is better, in C, less chance of XX in last year seems not logic in meaning

sussu

B is better, since no need to predict a chance in last year, so there was less chance of XX last year is not logical in meaning
