673. Studies of circadian rhythms can be applied to problems ranging from chronic insomnia in frequent transcontinental air travelers to workers in all-night plants being inefficient.
(A) to workers in all-night plants being inefficient
(B) toward workers in all-night plants being inefficient
(C) to workers in all-night plants who are inefficient
(D) to combat worker inefficiency in all-night plants
(E) to decreased efficiency among workers in all-night plants
Solution:
Parallelism + Idioms
To maintain parallelism, “from X to Y” structure is required
where X= “chronic insomnia in air travelers”
therefore, Y must be “a disease in people”.
E is the only choice that satisfies the above condition.
“…to decreased efficiency among workers…”
Hence, E is the best choice.
In A, parallelism violated. Furthermore, use of “being” makes it passive.
In B, “toward” is not idiomatic since it is not following “from X to Y” idiom.
In C, parallelism violated.
In D, verb “combat” violates parallelism.
