EducationAisleIn option D, "that" modifies the noun/noun phrase preceding it, whichever makes sense. In option D, favors can modify either wages or discrimination?
However, both cannot make sense. Hence we eliminate option D on this basis.
Please evaluate my reasoning.
Basically, in D, "that" seems to modify "discrimination". So, D seems to be illogically suggesting that "discrimination" favors predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female!
This is incorrect because according to the intended meaning of the original sentence, "discrimination" has just given rise to substantial differentials. "discrimination" itself does not favor anything.
