KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
E.
The sentence contains two parallel elements-procedures and reductions-that are incorrectly joined by the construction
from...and. The construction should be
from...to. Eliminate (A) and (B). (C) changes the parallel structure format with
such as, but reducing is not parallel with
improvement and
encouragement. Moreover,
reducing can't be followed by the preposition
in, from the original sentence. Eliminate (C). (D) correctly uses
from...to but includes the non-parallel
procedures and
reducing. That leaves (E), which is correct.
