After the United States Sentencing Commission reduced sentencing guideline levels for nonviolent drug traffickers, the landmark move was strengthened (not the USSC). The only answer choice that conveys this meaning is answer choice "E"."It" in answer choice "E" refers to the USSC. "In a landmark move, which the USSC strengthened by reducing sentencing guideline levels for nonviolent drug traffickers, the USSC voted to give nearly a quarter of all federal prisoners the chance to reduce their sentences by an average of more than two years through good conduct or meritorious credit."
Answer choice "A" implies The USSC was strengthened by reducing sentencing guideline levels for nonviolent drug traffickers.
We want the "landmark move" to be strengthened by reducing sentencing guideline levels for nonviolent drug traffickers. The USSC is doing the strengthening, not being strengthened. Not the best explanation but hope this helps!
