A recently published report indicates that the salaries of teachers continue to lag far behind other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less a year by the time they reach the age of 50.
A. other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less
B. other college-educated professionals, by an average of up to nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, to almost $24,000
C. what other college-educated professionals are paid—making an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less
D. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of up to nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers to almost $24,000 less
E. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, and by almost $24,000
I understood the split between by an average…. and by to be logical. From a comparison perspective we don’t have to mention “those of” right? Since, “salaries of” is already present in the sentence?
Am I correct in my understanding or do we need to explicitly mention those of?
