Hi Avi, is it easier to see C as "they have been in setting dividends", which is a clause , parallels to "to be more conservative", which is a non clause, then cross off C, if we know clause cannot be paralleled to non clause? I crossed off C because I though the clause that analyst expect ... cannot parallel to clause that they have been...,

But, C is the correct answer. The parallelism in C is as follows: Analysts expect automakers to [be more conservative in setting dividends than they have been in setting dividends]. So, "be" is parallel with "have been".

Hi AVI, I've not gotten that it is nonsense to say "analysts expect automaker that they will be more conservative".. First, someone expects others that they will be more conservative/smarter,... looks good. Second, it's good if the word "they" refers to automakers, and if they need to refer to analysts, we would rather need themselves instead of they. Third: the parts after "that" in D and E are good parallelism for me: they will be more conservative than they were/have been... so I am still confused why D and E are incorrect. appreciate your help.

You expect me that I will respond to your question. Or You expect me to respond to your question. Or You expect that I will respond to your question. Does any of the above seem wrong to you?

@@QuantReasoning frankly speaking, I think all above are ok for me, and the second one is the best concise.

The problem with the first one is the combination "me that". You can expect me to do something, but you can't expect me that I will do something. Grammatically speaking, "me" is the object for the clause "You expect", but "that" is serving the same purpose, as the direct object of a reporting verb. You can learn more about "that" here: academicguides.waldenu.edu/formandstyle/writing/grammarmechanics/that
