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


A - So that it was -is wordy and can be avoided.
B - Same as above
C - Change in verb tense. - Incorrect.
D - two year - adjective low - adjective . This is ambiguity whether two year modifies low or level.
E- this option is better worded avoids the problem in the previous option and hence our Winner.


PS: Would be great if you google the question and paste the question here instead of the screenshots. :)
