(B) and also unemployment and prices
(C) but so have unemployment and prices

I picked C, however, on reading the other choices, I felt E was close, except E has 'did'. I am not able to grammatically eliminate E. Can someone pls explain why E is wrong??
Karen?? Stacey ??

Tense of the Stem is present perfect -"Has soared"

and hence we need present perfect for having similar effect- Have provides that- "soared" is implicit


Additonally, we dont use "And" to join a main clause to a fragment

so, options are eliminated on basis of usage of correct cordinators and tenses

Can't be E because "did" is incorrect verb tense, "have" is parallel with "has soared"
