(A) a family where the husband only
(B) of a family where only the husband
(C) that for families in which only the husband
(D) a family in which only the husband
(E) those of families in which the husband only
Solution:

OG Solution:
Choices A and D illogically compare the median income to a family rather than to another median income. Also, families would be preferable to a family in A, B, and D because the comparison is between groups of families. In A and B, in which would be preferable to where, since where properly refers to location. Choices A and E misplace only so that it seems to modify was employed rather than the husband. In B and E, o/is less idiomatic than/or, and the plural pronoun those in E does not agree with the singular noun referent income. C, the best choice, uses the singular pronoun that to stand for income, thus establishing a logical comparison.
