A. have consistently received labor's unqualifying support
According to me, unqualifying means that something is not meeting the standard...but the actual meaning shows that support was non-restrictive..

C. have consistently received the unqualified support of labor

Hi AnjaliOberoi,

This SC involves a "style/idiom" phrase: "the support of ______."

While you're not necessarily going to see this particular phrase on the GMAT, idiom and style rules do show up frequently enough on the GMAT that it's worth learning as many of them as is reasonably possible.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
