Another SC question

by thecoolguy » Mon Jun 16, 2008 7:55 am
According to some economists, the July decrease in unemployment so that it was the lowest in two years suggests that the gradual improvement in the job market is continuing.

(A) so that it was the lowest in two years
(B) so that it was the lowest two-year rate
(C) to what would be the lowest in two years
(D) to a two-year low level
(E) to the lowest level in two years

Why can't the answer be D? I think D & E have the same meaning?
Good Luck

So that is not correct here….

A : So that eliminated
B : So that + rate elimated.
C : Awkward and wordy
D to a two year low level ..more appropriate
E : not correct as the this indicates that this is lowest level possible…

D correct

I think the answer is E.
A,B & C can be eliminated for the reasons above.But between D& E,D changes the meaning of the sentence. 'a two-year low level' is not equal to 'the lowest level in two year'.
