The company announced that its profits declined much less in the second quarter than analysts had expected it to and its business will improve in the second half of the year.
had expected it to and its business will improve
had expected and that its business would improve
expected it would and that it will improve its business
expected them to and its business would improve
expected and that it will have improved its business
C:"it"代词错误,对应前面profits应用复数。排除AC
B:“business will improve” – correctly imply that revenue will improve.
D:It’s not clear whether “its business would improve” is parallel to “analysts expected them to” or “its profits declined…” – both are clauses, so either would be structurally parallel, and that’s confusing.
