OG Verbal Review 2016 – Q #32
Answered
According to some economists, the July decrease in unemployment so that it was the lowest in two years suggests that the gradual improvement in the job market is continuing.
(A) so that it was the lowest in two years
(B) so that it was the lowest two-year rate
(C) to what would be the lowest in two years
(D) to a two-year low level
(E) to the lowest level in two years
OG mentions OA as E, but I cannot distinguish between D & E. Why is D wrong ?
Best answer
D suggests that the “low-level” lasted for two years. (Note that “two-year” functions as an adjective to “low level”).
