Official Answer
OA-D

Explanation: Answer choice (A) contains an error of parallelism: it is incorrect to say “data collected by officials…and that has implications.” Also the comparison “the debt of the Greeks...is rising faster than in any other age group” is not precise (you need to make it a debt to debt comparison). For (B), the same imprecise comparison occurs and the necessary word “other” is missing from the comparison. (C) makes a proper comparison but then contains the same structural error that exists in (A). (D) is correct as it makes a clear and precise comparison between the debt of one group and the debt of other groups. In the end, the sentence uses a correct, but uncommon, use of the appositive phrase “a finding that...” to indicate that the data has important implications. (E) is incorrect as the necessary word “other” is missing in the comparison and the “and has major implications” structure at the end is also incorrect: the debt itself does not have implications – the implications come from the fact that it is rising so quickly.
