大全842，请那位大牛帮一下忙

842.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
the key:E
请帮忙解释一下C E的区别。如果c改为what is offered by many nearby factories 对不对。

而今迈步从头越

E比C要简洁，C用一个从句来表达，而E用一个代词+修饰语，即使要改的话，也应该改为was吧

园愿

How can many nearby factories offer one hourly rate? I think that is not right, should use those instead.
