My bet is on E

'us' eliminates choices A, B and C. The deciding factor is 'to' vs no 'to' in D and E. E seems better because to help and sort, store etc. should not be equal in importance.

IMO E
'one can use the computer' is parallel to 'to help one sort'
one and us do not go with each other.
Also the adddition of to before sort breaks the parallelism.

+1 for E

only confusion is between D and E

Which is better as per GMAT standard? I always prefer the first to the second.

Why D is wrong

help is a regular verb

So help to should be fine.
