by FINALCOUNTDOWN » Thu Feb 12, 2009 10:29 am
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 it at 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
E

E) the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company’s severance package is available to workers
E
between D and E.. for comparing "severence packages" with "SPs"

D looks best.

E --"the last day that they are scheduled to collect" awkward.. means.. they are collecting days..


I don't agree with OA.

What is the source? and OE?

D looks best to me, here their unambiguosly refers back to workers while in E, what does they refer back to?? Is it workers or severance packages?
Should be D

I think D is wrong because "their last scheduled day in order to collect" changes the meaning.

Just took GMATPrep and had this question. The OA is D, not E
The more you look, the more you see.
