(A) leading neither to lower standards of living, more of an unequal distribution of income, or
neither nor mismatch
(B) leading neither to lower standards of living nor a more unequal distribution of income, or
"neither to" should be compared with "nor to"
(C) not leading to either lower standards of living nor to more of an unequal distribution of income, and neither is it
either X or Y...not either X nor Y
(D) not leading to lower standards of living, more of an unequal distribution of income, and it is not
not clear
(E) not leading to lower standards of living or to a more unequal distribution of income, nor is it
leading to parallel with or to

IMO E
