OG12-SC13

A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly
unemployment claims suggest that the economy might
not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.
(A) claims suggest that the economy might not be
as weak as some analysts previously thought
(B) claims suggests that the economy might not be
so weak as some analysts have previously
thought
(C) claims suggest that the economy might not be
as weak as have been previously thought by
some analysts
(D) claims, suggesting about the economy that it
might not be so weak as previously thought by
some analysts
(E) claims, suggesting the economy might not be as
weak as previously thought to be by some
analysts

请问D,E的选项里的suggesting是什么用法？？？为什么说却谓语呢？

楼主请看：

这个句子是用‘A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims’ 做主语，谓语是suggest，然后加that引导的宾语从句。

如果用动名词suggesting修饰主语，就找不到句子的谓语了，整个句子的结构就不完整了。

共勉。

高人，我想请教一下怎么在ac里面选出a呢？og关于c 的答案我很困惑。说的是have been thought 没有主语。可是明明有啊，不是后面的by analysts吗？   还有一个问题就是那c如果把have been 去掉，正确吗？

个人拙见。suggests that 后面的宾从是 主系表 结构，as weak as 也是做为修饰成分修饰表语，就是be后面的some analysts，the economy might not be (as weak as) some analysts ... 这个表语的部分用名词，或者名词性句子。C中缺少主语，从另一个方面讲，that从句中已经有个be动词，如果再出现have been谓语一定需要有一个并列连接词或者that/which带出新的句子。
另外D选中也说了，there is no reason to use passive voice... 被动没必要。
