(A) that pay be the same for jobs historically held by women as for jobs requiring comparable skill that are
(B) that pay for jobs historically held by women should be the same as for a job requiring comparable skills
(C) to pay the same in jobs historically held by women as in jobs of comparable skill that are
(D) to pay the same regardless of whether a job was historically held by women or is one demanding comparable skills
(E) to pay as much for jobs historically held by women as for a job demanding comparable skills


can anyone explain me why D is incorrect?

[aman88]

IMO A

A is concise, uses the subjunctive mood properly and is not wordy like choice D.

Let me know the OA.
Thanks.

In addition to what Aman said, D also has wrong parallel construction.

Moreover, in this context "pay for" is the right idiom and not "pay in" as used in option C.

[Sapana]

Can any1 pls explain why the ans can not be E? what is the error?

I see comparison error... to pay as much for jobs........as for a job!! hope that helps to eliminate choice E.

OA is A.

Thanks everyone for discussing about this topic!!

So Aman I need to eliminate D as it is too wordy.I cannot able to find wordy sentences from choices in sentence correction in order to eliminate. can anyone kindly let me know the trick to find the wordy sentences from the choices.

Iceman you told that in D there is wrong parallel construction. can you please explain how D is wrong parallel construction. I am not able to find any wrong parallel construction in D choices.

the main problem with D....

some bossy verb take both "to" and "that" construction - "require" is one of them.

when we use "that" --- the structure is :
.... bossy verb + that + subject ...
when we use "to" --- the structure is :
.... bossy verb + noun( object of the verb) + to

..... require him to be here. --- here "him" is the object of the verb "require"
..... require that he be here. --- here we are using the subject form "he" with a noun clause acting as a object for the verb "require".

here,

require + "of...." --- there is no object for the verb here - so the second ( "to") construction do not work here. Eliminate C,D and E.

Hope this helps !!
