the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less a year by the time they reach
the age of 50.

请教NN和斑斑们
问题1：
         and by almost $24,000是修饰前面的the salaries of teachers continue to lag far behind对不对呢？
问题2：
        这个lag far behind 是什么意思呢
Dictionary.com 说 There are no dictionary entries for lag far behind
        google.com    说
        Women scientists lag far behind men in patents, study says
                                       Most states lag far behind'No Child Left Behind' law
                                       Recent job gains lag far behind historical norms

我不是牛牛，讲讲自己的看法。

觉得是E阿。

因为

D. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers to almost $24,000 less

不觉得这个less很多余很别扭吗？

并列起来比较的是那两个钱数啊。
