Each of the sales people that were retained after the company was acquired is more likely to receive a promotion than any of the other sales team members are.
This question tests your ability to be extremely literal in terms of subject-verb agreement.
A few points to note
Salespeople can both be singular or plural depending on the context.
That is referring to salespeople so were is correct.
Company is singular so was is correct.
Each is singular hence IS is correct.
So I don't see any errors in choice A. But let's do a POE.
A. Each of the salespeople that were retained after the company was acquired is more likely to receive a promotion than any of the other sales team members are.
This is the correct choice for the above-mentioned reasons.
B. Each of the salespeople that was retained after the company had been acquired is more likely to receive a promotion than any other sales team member is.
Was here is incorrect.
C. Each of the salespeople that were retained after the company had been acquired are more likely to receive a promotion than any of the other sales team members are.
Are here is incorrect because the subject is EACH.
D. Each of the salespeople that was retained after the company was acquired is more likely to receive a promotion than any of the other sales team members is.
Again, WAS is incorrect.
E. Each of the salespeople that were retained after the company was acquired are more likely to receive a promotion than any other sales team member are.
Are here is incorrect because the subject is EACH.
Hence the answer is A.
