The report on the gross national product—the nation’s total production of goods and services—showed that second-quarter inflation was somewhat lower than a previous estimation and the savings rate slightly higher.

the clauses highlighted in red are parallel to each other and to maintain the parallelism and should be followed by a "that"

therefore we can eliminate options A/B and D

between C and E

(C) a previous estimate and that the savings rate is slightly higher
the use of present tense verb-is is wrong for an event that took place in the past

therefore E is the correct option!!

Simply E for maintaining the 'that' parallelism and for not shifting the tense from past to present.

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).
