我觉得应该选择E，答案给的是D。鄙人觉得scheduled to collect 可以修饰 day啊，当然也可以理解为D选项那样，in order to collect 独立出来，我的意思是D 和E从语法上来说都正确，但是我感觉E更加通顺一些，不知大家怎么看？

Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day that they are scheduledto collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers.
从句中which 代指 s packages, that they are中的they也代指 s packages, 相同主语情况应该省略
所以that they are scheduled to collect出现了wordy

Manhattan 中说的语法三原则，GMC(Grammar, meaning, concision)
我觉的concision挺重要的，也常被忽略，比如通常在实际句子中，通常主动>被动(for concision),一般时态>完成时等等
还有类似于can do 优于be able to do, 优于have the ability to do,优于have the capability to do等等。
都符合这种情况

说的有道理，如果从简洁的角度来看，D确实优于E，谢谢！
