A 正确选项： require of sb that do/be sth 虚拟语气。比较形式对称。

B错在 should 不应有，另外 a job 和 jobs 不对称。

C D E 的 to pay 不如用that 好，因为 to do 后面跟一个比较复杂的句子时不如用that 更能表达。

C 错在 jobs of comparable skill 意思改变

D 错在 the same as 不完整。 regardless of whether 的结构 ungrammatical, 另外a job 和women 不对应。 整个句子 awkward and wordy.

E 错在jobs 和 a job 不对称
