As the housing affordability gap widens, middle-income families are especially hard-hit, and these families can no longer qualify to buy homes, and rising rental rates force them to use far more than the standard 25 percent of their incomes for housing, leaving them with no equity or tax write-offs to offset the expenditures.

(A) and these families can no longer qualify to buy homes, and
(B) since these families can no longer afford to buy homes, furthermore
(C) for these families can no longer afford to buy homes, yet
(D) and these families can no longer afford to buy homes; however,
(E) and these families can no longer afford to buy homes, for

what is wrong with C

Can you explain how C is the right answer? I picked B because the first part of a sentence describes a difficulty and the second part describes another difficulty. Aren't yet/although supposed to be used when there is a change in meaning in opposite direction?

Thanks

Same here guys .....this is what I followed ....

and is defintely wrong ...coz the next sentence gives a resoning as to why the familias are hard hit ...

So a , d e are eliminated....

Yet is generally used for something opposing the idea...
It rained yet there was some sun. (not sure if this is a good example) :(

but the 2nd sentence further modfiies why these families are even more hit ...hence firther more is more apt..

Whats the OA.....

The answer to this question must be A. Afford and qualify are not synonymous.

Arorag...can you pls post an OA? People getting lost..

Meantime, the right answer should be B only because "furthermore" is better fit here than "yet". And A is wrong by meaning.
Looking for 780~
