请教 大全 sec3 - 17

The unskilled workers at the Allenby plant realized that their hourly rate of $4.11 to $4.75 was better than many nearby factory wages.
(A) many nearby factory wages
(B) many wages in nearby factories
(C) what are offered by many nearby factories
(D) it is in many nearby factories
(E) that offered by many nearby factories
答案是E

according to WM:

wage---a : a payment usually of money for labor or services usually according to contract and on an hourly, daily, or piecework basis ? often used in plural     b plural   : the share of the national product attributable to labor as a factor in production

rate--- a charge, payment, or price fixed according to a ratio, scale, or standard: as  (1) : a charge per unit of a public-service commodity  (2) : a charge per unit of freight or passenger service  (3) : a unit charge or ratio used in assessing property taxes  (4) British   : a local tax

照此解释,rate 和 wage 表示的意思应该很接近了,B就应该是正确选项呀? 是不是应该改成hourly wage就对了呢?

请nn答复

在GMAT中 名词的单复数一定要对应 所以只有E

你改后 我认为是对的 可以做为答案
