Not confident but this is what I understood

we need a sentence which says ...

than BY WOMEN who were under thirty YEARS OLD.

were is correct usage, eliminate A and C

those refers to womean
and it refers to age.

So E

Well no one has posted the OA yet, and u said im rite :shock:

nehw got simple resoning for this one, the stem question + all options seemed oddly constructed so between A and E I went with the option I felt had the least error :lol:

Is OA A?

I feel A compares women to age .. which is illogical

in E, we see the comparision between women over 30 years of age and women under 30 years of age (it)


correct me if i am wrong

none of the options SOUND right :), but to choose one of them, I will go with A as well.. "it" would replace "thirty", the age, so comparing "over thirty years old" and "under thirty years old" => "under it". What is the OA?

the reason E was wrong was because "than those were under it" here if those were to refer to the women it should have said "than by those under it" by would be required for parellelism.
were is also not required here.
