Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package even if they find a new job before they are terminated.

(A) the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package

(B) the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for the automobile company's severance package

(D) their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

(E) the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

我觉得they指代不清吧~即可以指workers，也可以指packages

那么那个their也有这样的问题呀？

E还有个问题是that从句修饰the last day不简洁~

The day that... collect有问题吧
定语从句that必须充当从句成分 若是collect的宾语 句子不通

(E) the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

应该不是同位语从句，同位语从句中，后句部分解释前面的词，这里不具备这个功能

应该还是定语从句没有写好
