要區別(D)跟(E)的不同要從語意上來區別....

首先先把(E)的句子還原回去....

Florida will gain another quarter-million jobs this year alone, many of them in such high-paying fields as electronics and banking, and Florida will make the state’s economy far more diversified than it was ten years ago.

這樣的表達會變成：佛羅里達將會獲得額外的25萬個工作機會，這些工作機會大多是屬於高薪的工作，例如電力及銀行，而佛羅里達將會使它的經濟比起十年前更加分散化。

但是就(A)的選項來說，原句想要表達的並不是這個意思....

他想表達的應該是：佛羅里達將會獲得額外的25萬個工作機會，這些工作機會大多是屬於高薪的工作，例如電力及銀行，而這樣的增加將會使佛羅里達的經濟比起十年前更加分散化。

所以，(D)選項的表達方式會更接近原來想表達的意思....

簡單的說，(D)選項裡的"making the state’s economy far more diversified than it was ten years ago"就是前面那句的修飾語....

一般表達這樣的修飾要不就是使用『同位語』，例如『Florida will gain another quarter-million jobs this year alone, many of them in such high-paying fields as electronics and banking, an increase making the state’s economy far more diversified than it was ten years ago. 』

要不然就是用『分詞』的方式來表達，像是(D)選項的表達方式....

還有一種表達方式是用『which』來表達，可是在AT考試似乎認為這樣的表達方式會造成ambiguity，所以這樣的答案除非是其他四選項都錯的情況下才會選....如果寫出來的話應該是像這樣『Florida will gain another quarter-million jobs this year alone, many of them in such high-paying fields as electronics and banking, which makes the state’s economy far more diversified than it was ten years ago. 』

簡單的說，(E)跟(D)在結構上都沒錯....

可是(D)選項更接近作者想表達的意思....

至於，如果你問我為什麼知道作者想表達什麼....我只能跟你說『修辭考的就是閱讀....一切都是語意至上....』
