一道全划线题:
d.  
added to the increase in hourly wages that were requested last july,the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.

e.added to the increase in hourly wages requested last july,the employees of the railroad are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits

到提那个好呢?

e 好像更好些。过去分词修饰wages比定语从句更简洁,employees of the railroad比rail road employees更idiomatical

I think d is better.that clause in d modified the "increase" yet the "requested..." seems to modify the "hourly wages". If I'm wrong, then my understanding about the difference of that clause and preterite is wrong.

BTW: Railroad employees seem good to me
