问题 Much of the hope for continued improvement of the economy lies in the projection of increasing consumer spending this year.
选项 A、projection of increasing consumer spending
B、projection of consumers increasing spending for
C、projected consumer spending increase
D、consumer spending that is projected to increase
E、increase in consumer spending that is projected for
答案 E
解析 Consumer spending helps fuel the economy; when consumer spending increases, the economy tends to improve. The given sentence suggests that there is hope for continued improvement in the economy resulting from a projected increase in consumer spending this year.
Which one of the five answer options best conveys this idea?
A    This choice focuses on projection rather than increase. Furthermore, the role of increasing is ambiguous: it can either be read as an adjective modifying spending or as a noun with spending as its object.
B    In this choice, the preposition ^incorrectly governs the phrase consumers increasing spending
C    This choice correctly focuses on the increase in consumer spending as a whole. However, it strings together too many adjectives; to make the sentence clearer and more readable, it would be preferable to state increase first as in choice E.
D This choice incorrectly focuses on what may be simply one portion of consumer spending: that which is expected to increase.
E    Correct. With this choice, it is clear that the underlined portion of the sentence focuses on increase. Use of the preposition for also clarifies that the projected increase is attributed to this year.
The correct answer is E.
