continued improvement 的严格对应关系

C形容词修饰最后的increase很容易造成歧义，比如projected可以修饰consumer

1.lies in +什么内容根据语义搞清楚-----经济增长在于消费增长
C:projected作为形容词有可能修饰consumer spending
D：经济增长在于消费（增长的消费），强调consumer spending改变句意
E：避免歧义

感觉C这样多个形容词修饰最后的increase很容易造成歧义，比如projected可以修饰consumer，这样就不对了

注意应该是对于增长的一个预期，消费的预期有逻辑问题。

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.

……的增长我们通常说 an increase in sth，比如本题 消费支出的增长通常表达为 an increase in consumer spending

lies in the INCREASE!

AB还是核心词错了 消费的预期 应该是增长的预期才对
E projected for this year 不就是意思是对今年的消费的预计
C感觉是不是projected可能修饰consumer所以错了

就像你今年预期的小麦产量和去年预期的小麦产量，去年到今年的预期有一个increase，虽然是预期产量的increase，但这个increase却是客观的，主观的是产量到底是多少，因为他才是真正的预期量。

点应该在于，C选项projected修饰的是increase，因为increase前面是consumer spending的形容词，形容词不可能修饰形容词，所以projected修饰的是increase，而这个可能不太符合题目的意思。题目更认为increase是客观的，consumer spending才应该是可以被主观project的。

hope lies in the increase in spending 重心是increase; 不是hope lies in the spending that is projected to increase (重心的spending)

如果核心词是increase 那为什么C不对呢？

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.
E: it is clear that the underlined portion of the sentence focuses on the increase.

注意核心词，hope lies in the increase , 核心词是increase而不是projection或是consumer spending
E. consumer spending is projected for an increase。正确
