Discrimination in wages paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have given rise to substantial differentials between the wage of housepainters and secretaries and between the wages of parking-lot attendants and library assistants.

(A) paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have
(B) paid in occupations that are predominantly make over those that are predominantly female have
(C) that favors predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female have
(D) that favors predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female has
(E) paid in predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female has

IMO D

have is wrong in a,b,c
Discrimination is singular.


(E) paid in predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female has

over the predominantly female does not clearly refer to the wages
Cheers !!

My Pick : E
ABC - out for SV-Agreement.
In D -- Favors ( Singular) modifying discrimination and distorting the meaning of sentence.
