D) Those of us who graduated from high school in the United States in the years of the early 60s were then

I went with B:

We who graduated from the high schools in the United States in the early 60s were

But unfortunately, it was the wrong choice

I thought that "high school" must be "high schools"

Why do we not need to use the plural form?

thx

Here the usage of
we high school graduates is clear and concise than the usage of------ We who graduated from high school is -----

D is wrong because of the awkward structure beginning with "Those of us-----"

So, Option is E correct

On a Whole , I would say this Sc is more of a Style usage than the other types.....

OA pls????

I think A is correct. High school is a general term so it clearly says that we who graduated from High School...
OA please.

IMO A

I request u to edit the Op B in the given question. U made a typo error in Op B, i checked on internet and i find a COMMA is there b/w WE and WHO in Op B. A single comma makes a difference in meaning here as it change restrictive clause to a non-restrictive clause. In that case it is very easy to pick Op A as the correct answer

Orginal Op B given here:

B) We who graduated from the high schools in the United States in the early 60s were

Op B should be

B) We, who graduated from the high schools in the United States in the early 60s were

IMO A

I made no error, I just copied this question from Magoosh GMAT. There is no comma.

Wouldn't A) be a better choice with "high schools" instead of "high school"?
