C、The railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits added to the increase in hourly wages that were requested last July.
D、In addition to the increase in hourly wages that were requested last July, the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.
E、In addition to the increase in hourly wages requested last July, the employees of the railroad are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.
答案
E
解析
The phrase Added to the increase in hourly wages ... modifies what immediately follows the comma., the railroad employees. This would mean that the railroad employees themselves are being added to the increase in hourly wages, which is absurd.
The idea the sentence is intended to convey is that the railroad employees are now seeking to have an expanded program of retirement benefits added to the increase in hourly earnings requested last July.
The correct answer will be the choice that most clearly, idiomatically, and grammatically expresses this idea.
A As indicated above, the phrase added to the increase in hourly wages requested last July ... incorrectly modifies the railroad employees
B The phrase Added to the increase in hourly wages which had been requested last July modifies the railroad employees, which is not what is intended.
C Unlike the prior two choices, this choice does not make any modification errors. However, seeking an expanded program ... added is not correct; seeking to have an expanded program ... added would be acceptable. In the other answer choices, seeking most nearly means trying to acquire. In this choice, however, because it is used in conjunction with another verb (added), seeking most nearly means trying. When used in this sense, seeking should be followed by an infinitive.
D Like C, but unlike A and B, this choice does not have any modification errors. However, it has an agreement flaw: the noun the increase in hourly wages is singular, so the verb must be was requested rather than were requested.
E Correct. This version clearly and correctly conveys the intended idea.
The correct answer is E.
