Answers --
995). A is the best choice.
D, E - incorrect - "between A and B" - is the correct idiom.
B - incorrect - Plural "them" is incorrect. (a language - singular)
C - incorrect - "try ~ ing" is different from "try + to +Verb" . Here "try+to" should be used.
Note - the object of "count" is same as that of "knows", therefore it can be ommitted in Choice A.
996). D is the best choice according to me though 1000 SC's state E to be the best choice.
A, B, C - incorrect - incorrect comparison - workers are compared with package - comparison must be between "most severance packages" and "the automobile company's severance package."
E - incorrect - changes the meaning - "last day that they are scheduled to collect" creates confusion."To collect" is misplaced. E says "the last day that they are scheduled to collect," suggesting illogically that workers can be scheduled to collect a day.
Note - D uses "in order to." It is true that "in order to" is often considered wordy -- usually just "to" is enough. But "in order to" is correct here and it alone is not enough to eliminate an answer choice.
