E中的省略是完全合理的，wages paid是wages that be paid的省略，在省略that be不影响原文意思的情况下，用分词直接做定语修饰名词是最简洁有效的表达方法。
表示比较的时候相同的成分是可以省略的，这里wages paid in predominately male occupation over (wages paid) in predominately female (occupation)，省略了相同的部分，仅写出predominately female表示比较对象，没有问题。
这里的D第一遍读上去都读不懂的，按照D的表达方法，those指代的是wages，用that引导从句来修饰those也就是wages，变成了wages are predominately female，明显是错误的。作者: greates 时间: 2010-10-24 06:42
其实，我对D的理解是：Discrimination that favors A over B
A 指 male occupation; B 指 female occupation
再考虑了下，D 可能是错在：我们说 women institute 而不能说 institute that is woman
