A
解析
Diction; Idiom; Agreement
The intended idea of the sentence is that this year’s erratic pattern of sales increases has made retailers and analysts hesitant to make any prediction regarding a particular trend. This idea is well expressed by using because of. Furthermore, the correct answer, unlike some of the other answer choices, uses the appropriate idiom hesitant to rather than hesitant in and has no agreement error between subject and verb.
A Correct. The sentence’s use of Because of appropriately conveys the idea that the erratic pattern of sales increases explains why the retailers and analysts are hesitant to make a prediction. The sentence uses the correct idiom hesitate to and has no agreement errors.
B The use of with is less effective than because of in the correct answer; the meaning is conveyed less clearly than in A. Also, hesitant in predicting is awkward and unidiomatic.
C Due to effectively communicates that the erratic pattern of increasing sales helps explain the retailers’ and analysts’ hesitation to make a prediction, but the sentence employs the awkward, wordy, and unidiomatic hesitation . . . in predicting.
D The erratic pattern ... is singular, so the verb should be has. The placement of the adverbial phrase this year would be more appropriate immediately following increases.
E The erratic pattern ... is singular, so the verb should be has.
The correct answer is A.
