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.
(A) had expected it to and its business will improve
(B) had expected and that its business would improve
(C) expected it would and that it will improve its business
(D) expected them to and its business would improve
(E) expected and that it will have improved its business
原文大致意思:一个公司宣布这个公司的利润比分析家预测的下降的要少并且预测公司利润会提升
题目分析：读完原文后我们发现原文体现出两个一致关系，第一个就是利润下降幅度和分析家预计的幅度进行比较，第二个一致性就是预测的两个事情有一个并列关系（利润问题和business问题）我们首先根据第一个一致性就可以排除CDE因为expect这个词发生的时间应该是decline这个时间之前，decline用的是过去式而expect就应该是过去的过去，应该用过去完成时。A和B进行比较，一个有it一个没有，it如果存在明显指的就是利润，可是前面的利润是复数，所以不能用it，如果这个差异看不出来，A用will而B用would，这个句子应该是announce的一个宾语从句，announce都用过去式，里面的从句当然也应该用过去式。不论根据哪个差异比较，都可以选出B来。
