GMATPrep - Q two versions sequence of ACs change the Answer?

Expert replies

I have seen two versions of the same question:

1. A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.

(A) more than when retiring
(B) more than if they were to retire
(C) more so than those who retired
(D) which was more so than those retiring
(E) which was more than if they had retired

OA is C

2. A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more so than those who retired completely.
A. more so than those who retired
B. which was more than if they had retired
C. more than when retiring
D. more than if they were to retire
E. which was more so than those retiring

OA is A . Both the answers are also in sync. And no issue in understanding the same. However, in question 1 while reading we are not clear of meaning, in that case we are not sure whether the author meant meaning B or C . Question 1 might be misinterpreted by someone who compiled the document , but I expert help please. If Q1 is correct as given, then nothing stops us to go for answer choice B as question does not give clear direction for meaning.

Hey I think question 1 gives clear meaning about C.
A study on couples' retirement transitions found that
A study found that. It means either women retired completely or took a new job. B) means hypothetically (if they were to retire) but this is a realistic case.

meaning (b) is implausible -- it implies that the study was able to measure the women's satisfaction in the case of a hypothetical event that never happened, and then compare it to the women's actual satisfaction with their real-life situation. this is not reasonable.

meaning (c) is reasonable; it involves only a comparison between the actual measures of satisfaction of 2 different groups of women.

on the other hand, i am elated beyond words to see a poster on this forum actually considering meaning for once, rather than just grammargrammargrammargrammargrammar all the time.
