Compared to September of the previous year, overall economic activity was up 2.4 percent, as reported the College Index of County Economic Activity.
Giving a shot at the explanation:
Quote:
(A) as reported the College Index of County Economic Activity
- This part makes no sense. College Index of County Economic Activity (CICEA) is reporting it. It should be as reported by... to make sense. Eliminate.Quote:
(B) shown by the College Index of County Economic Activity
- How can an Index show the rise in economic activity? It can report or reflect or inform about the rise in activity. It cannot "show" it. Out for this reason.Quote:
(C) according to the College Index of County Economic Activity
- Makes sense logically. 'According to' means that the Index is reporting or informing it. Quote:
(D) recounted by the College Index of County Economic Activity
- An index is not a living thing. So recounting is not possible. A human can recount experiences. An animal can. An index? I do not think so. Quote:
(E) along with the College Index of County Economic Activity
- Distorts the meaning. The index did not rise up. It reported an increase in activity.

The first thing to notice here is that all of the answer choices have a decent portion in common. We can view the question as follows:

Now, let's look at the answer choices:

Maybe "as reported BY" or "as reported IN," but not as written. Eliminate.
(B) shown by
Maaaayyyyybe "AS shown by," but not as written. Eliminate.
(C) according to
Sounds good. Keep it.
(D) recounted by
"Recounted" doesn't really make sense in this context. Eliminate.
(E) along with
The CICEA was up 2.4%? That doesn't make sense. Eliminate.
Answer choice C.
