According to some economists, the July decrease in unemployment so that it was the lowest in two years suggests that the gradual improvement in the job market is continuing. (A) so that it was the lowest in two years (B) so that it was the lowest two-year rate (C) to what would be the lowest in two years (D) to a two-year low level (E) to the lowest level in two years(答案) 想问，为什么这里用最高级呢？ d哪里错了。谢谢！

D的逻辑意思有歧义：
two-year修饰low level：一个两年的low level
two-year和low同时修饰level：逻辑意思正确

跟more expensive small car的歧义一样，连续两个形容词在名词前逻辑意思都会有歧义。

除非改成：a two-year-low level或者the lowest level in two years
