看答案
recession
the economic ____ 是 affected 的主詞，需要名詞 recession。recessionary 是形容詞，不能在此單獨充當主詞中心語；recede 是動詞原形；receded 是過去式或過去分詞，也無法構成此處所需的名詞片語。
同義改寫
The company postponed its warehouse expansion during the recession. → The company postponed its warehouse expansion during the economic downturn.
此處 economic downturn 指同一段經濟衰退時期，保留擴建延後的時間背景。
The hiring report links the decline in job openings to the recession. → The hiring report connects the decrease in job openings with the recession.
links ... to 與 connects ... with 都表示指出兩者的關聯；decline 與 decrease 在此都指職缺數量減少。
