Confuse

[geet]

Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay
until the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile
company are eligible for its severance package even if they find
a new job before they are terminated.
A. the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile
company are eligible for its severance package.
B. the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are
eligible for the automobile company’s severance package
C. their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company
offers its severance package to workers.
D. their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile
company’s severance package is available to workers.
E. the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile
company’s severance package is available to workers.


Explain me the difference between D and E

[montz]

E is awkward, it conveys that workers are scheduled to collect 'the last day' instead of the severance packages.

The difference is in the slight meaning change.

The sentence actually intends to mean that The automobile company's severance package is better than that of most companies by allowing the workers to collect their package even before they are terminated. Most of the companies require the workers to stay till their last day - their day of termination (Not the last day they are scheduled to collect like E says)

Hence D is correct.
