New equipment and other improvements reduced the amount of time - from eleven hours in 1982 to six in 1988 - needed by workers so that they could produce a ton of steel.

(A) needed by workers so that they could produce
(B) needed when workers are producing
(C) workers need in producing
(D) workers needed to produce
(E) workers need for their producing of

Do we treat hypens as commas in the sentence?


The answer should be D:

Between needed by workers and workers needed GMAT prefer the easiest and simplest one ! Here it is workers needed !

the answer C is clearly wrong because of the use of the gerund.

The answer is either D or E.

Here, answer E is wordy, and for their producing of is wrong

Therefore answer is D !

Hope I helps!
