50. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

instead come
(B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what
many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
(C) in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession,

and instead to come
(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many
were fearing earlier in the year, and rather
to come
(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that

答案选A，我想请教的是rather与instead的用法比较，在网上只能找到instead of和rather than的区别

instead come in 做什么成分

根据题目的内容我觉得rather 和instead 应该可以互换的。

看了些别人解释 rather / instead 都是副词， 可以修饰动词，但是副词不能直接加不定式和ing分词，所以 这题直接就排除B C D E, 选A。

我想问一下那两个that从句分别是什么从句
第一个that是同位语从句吧
第二个是同位语还是定语从句, 如果fear做及物动词的话, 那么可以理解为定语从句不, 这样的话那个that是不是可以省略
