"while" here is used to show some kind of contrast between most jobs and computer programming jobs.
need to establish "for most jobs.....,for computer programming jobs"
A,B & E are out since "jobs...applicants " not parallel
IN D , "jobs...some cases" same issue
IMO C is the answer

This is a SC Butler Question




OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



The correct answer is (E).

The original version is redundant in its use of job twice. Also, at times is not idiomatic here. (Either sometimes or occasionally would have been correct.) Choice (E) corrects both problems. So does choice (D), but using the word some twice sounds clumsy and alters the sentence’s meaning—by going too far in limiting the situations in which a demonstration is requested.
