OG12上说d选项although this option is not technically wrong, it is less clear and graceful than B,是不是意味着不能由expectation that /of 判断正误？另外这句话应该怎么翻译呢？这题的做题步骤应该是怎么样的？另外more than 后面能跟动词？

taohuaxian

是由expectation that /of判断优劣
概括性抽象名词+that从句 优于 概括性抽象名词+of doing形式
OG解释的没错呀

做题顺序 就是先把CDE干掉，然后AB比较，发现A中that of多余，所以选B

double这个词可以做动词、形容词、副词，用法较多，只有它能如句中这么用，当然还有

triple和quadruple

请问这句话什么意思？什么叫rose 0.8 of 1 percent？

piggycandys

增加了1.8个百分点。

more than 是副词短语，可修饰动词

sea3ufooio

估计LZ笔误了，是增加了0.8个百分点。
google 出这么一句话“The incomes of the top one-tenth of 1 percent (0.1 percent)

of
U.S. households have grown more rapidly than the incomes of the top 1
percent of households as a whole, rising by 94 percent — or $3.5
million per household — since 2002.”
貌似是有 three-tenth of 1 percent 等等这些说法。

给你一个OG12的官方解释；
The sentence explains the expectations that resulted from a past retail sales trend. Since expectations look to the future but are not yet realized, the relative clause explaining these expectations should be conditional, employing the auxiliart verb "would".
