Q: Since the work force is becoming increasingly competitive in light of technological advances and outsourcing, therefore, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.

A. therefore, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree. – the sentence already has ‘since’ to explain the reason so ‘therefore’ is redundant
B. moreover, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree. - the sentence already has ‘since’ to explain the reason so ‘therefore’ is redundant
C. but, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree. – sentence reads like a fragment (incomplete)- ‘but’ is unnecessary
D. so it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree. – sentence reads like a fragment (incomplete)- ‘so’ is unnecessary
E. it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.

Since the work force is becoming increasingly competitive in light of technological advances and outsourcing, therefore, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.

A. therefore, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.

B. moreover, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.

C. but, it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.

D. so it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.

E. it is even more basic for students to complete high school and attain at least a bachelor’s degree.
KEY is non-underlined portion.
Sentence starts with [colors=#0000ff]Since[/color] and there are two clauses...indicates cause-effect....or any reasoning...
In A, B, C, D - underlined part starts with conjuctive adverbs - that is redundant. All out

Option E is perfect without any conjunctive adverb.
