A recently published report indicates that the salaries of teachers continue to lag far behind other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less a year by the time they reach the age of 50.

(A) other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less
(B) other college-educated professionals, by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, to almost $24,000

(E) those of other college-educated professionals--by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, and by almost $24,000

区别DE
Lag：to move or develop more slowly than others.已经包含了减少的含义，再用less就重复了
而且$8,000和$24,000是平行的，既然一个不用Less，则另一个也不用
