E A. other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less - wrong comparison. The sentences must compare salaries.B. other college-educated professionals, by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, to almost $24,000 - the same: wrong comparison.C. what other college-educated professionals are paid—making an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less - wordy.D. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers to almost $24,000 less - I think that "to" usually is to establish a range (from...TO....). This is not the case. Here the sentence is showing 2 specific average in different moments in the life of a teacher.E. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, and by almost $24,000 - much better, (but that comma (,) before "and" I don't know if it is really necessary) :sBy POE, my answer is E. I think I deserve kudos

Agree with metallicafan - answer choice D would be more appropriate to use with a range of values.
E also keeps better parallel structure than D.

I was stuck between D and E, and finally choose D. Probably E has a better parallelism. Dont know  Still waiting for Expert Comments to throw some light Gmatically

For me is between D and E.
Please clarify. Those should be present as it is a comparison between teachers' salaries between two periods. Hence, left with D and E. And E wins because of parallelism. Hope this clears.. Regds Sony

Please clarify. E is for ||ism by an average and by almost ... IN D the use of to is wrong as it makes me feel the range from 8000 to 24000. Correct me if i am wrong

Re: A recently published report [#permalink]

Comma (,) before end is mandatory in one case as shown below.
I love crcket, and my fav. player is MURALI.
The comma is mandatory in the above sentece as the subject (I) of the first IC is diff. from that (My fav. Player) of the second IC.
In the rest of the cases, the comma b4 and can be ignored.
e.g: i love cricket and foodball. (, is not manadtory here)
Hope it helps.
Murali.

The answer is E, in D, there is "by...to", which is inappropriate.

E is a clear shot. Comparison and parallelism are issues with the rest.

from X to Y show a range comma used in choice E make the paralleled items clearer. One is the salaries of teachers, another belongs to professionals. So, choice E is the best.

23 Dec 2011, 04:24
initially i picked E, but then when I looked at the numbers in option E, which doesn't say whether they are 'less' or 'more' ('less' is clearly stated in original statement)...D is clearly wrong as it changes the meaning by introducing the range of values I'm confused now, E doesn't looks to be correct answer Is there an option F?
