74. A recently
published report indicates that the salaries of teachers continue to lag far
behind other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of
nearly $8,000 a year less at
the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less a year by the time they reach
the age of 50.

A. other
college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their
careers and almost $24,000 less

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

careers and almost $24,000 less

D. those of

E.

and by almost $24,000

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。
