[Reveal] Spoiler:

The underscored portion of the sentence lacks conciseness. This should be rather obvious. What may not be as obvious, however, is the subject-verb disagreement between "information" and "indicate."

Choices A, B, and C can be eliminated because they each begin incorrectly with the verb "indicate." Choice E is wrong because it uses the incorrect verb "lay" rather than "lie."

'The information' is singular. So the correct form would be 'the information......indicates'

So we are left with option 4 & 5.
5 is badly formed. 'are laying ahead' is wrong.

4 is the correct answer.
