This topic tests proper comparison in A, B, C and modification in D and E.
(A) The researchers explained that the average cost of a study performed by the laboratory would increase more than 10 percent, amounting to about $80,000, as compared with similar research and analysis this year. ----- cost compared with research and not with another cost. Some could even say that an increase is being compared with a research; whatever way you look in, the comparison is wrong.
(B) The researchers explained that the average cost of research and analysis performed by the laboratory would increase more than 10 percent, or about $80,000, from that of similar studies this year. ---- cost is compared with that of similar studies. Correct comparison and correct choice.
(C) The researchers explained that there would be an increase of about 10 percent in a study's average cost, or about $80,000, above this year's similar research and analysis. --- here again the comparison is between cost and research
(D) Compared to similar studies this year, the researchers explained that the average cost of research and analysis performed by the laboratory would increase about $80,000, by more than 10 percent. ---wrong modification; It looks as though the studies are being compared to the researchers.
(E) Contrasted with similar research and analysis this year, the researchers explained that the average cost of a study performed by the laboratory would increase more than $80,000, or about 10 percent. ---- same modification problem as in D
