According to some economists, the July decrease in unemployment so that it was the lowest in two years suggests that the gradual improvement in the job market is continuing.
(A) so that it was the lowest in two years -> decrease in unemployment cannot be reasoned to the lowest unemployment in two years. Incorrect.
(B) so that it was the lowest two-year rate -> Same error as A. Incorrect.
(C) to what would be the lowest in two years -> would used for something didn't happen. It changed the meaning. Incorrect.
(D) to a two-year low level -> "two-year low level" is incorrect. We need the lowest. Incorrect.
(E) to the lowest level in two years -> It is better. Let's keep it.
So, I think E.

AjiteshArun Sir,
Do we eliminate option C because of uncertainty(usage of would) or are there any other errors in this one?
Please advise.

Hi krndatta,
There are quite a few issues with option C:
1. Would be leads to an unexpected meaning.
2. The use of what ("what would be") leads to wordiness.
3. The word level isn't used anywhere, so it's hard for us to understand how that element is meant to finish ["would be the lowest _____ (what?) in two years"].
