Despite recent increases in sales and cash flow that have propelled automobile companies' common stocks to new highs, several industry analysts expect automakers, in order to conserve cash, to set dividends more conservatively than they were
to set dividends more conservatively than they were
to set dividends more conservatively than they have been
to be more conservative than they have been in setting dividends
that they will be more conservative than they were in setting dividends
that they will be more conservative than they have been to set dividends
题目分析：
略。
选项分析：
A选项：抛开插入语 in order to conserve cash，本选项主干为：
several industry analysts expect automakers to set dividends more conservatively than they were
在逻辑上，需要比较的对象应为“预期中的制造商的派放股利行为”和“制造商曾经的派放股利行为”。因此，than身后应改为than they have done。
B选项：本选项错误同(A)。
C选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项：从句that they will be more conservative需改为不定式短语to be more conservative。这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。用之于本题，由于发生这种变化的部分为expect的宾语的补足语，所以应根据expect的约束力判断。显然地，expect的约束力较强，宾补需用不定式的形式。
E选项：本选项错误同(D)。
RON: whenever you use a parallel structure with omitted words, the exact ommited words must be present ,in parallel structure, elsewhere in the sentence.—no alternations, no tense changes, no nothing.
这是A.B 错的原因, 补充完整B than they have been setting dividents, 而setthing 并没有出现在前面的句子中, 所以错误。改成have done 就对了
C. expect to 是idiom 表示将来, have been表示 a trend that continues up to the present date.
平行讲究的是 as good as it possibly can be.
B这里改成have done怎么理解呢：是have set结束，done指set，还是have done set又省略了呢？
