    Think it’s B

  2. swagatalakshmi says:

    (B)

    Labour contract permits X and provides Y ….

  3. Nilabh says:

    (C) attrition, which will be speeded up by providing increased
    pension benefits and a special early-retirement program

  4. Deep says:

    B for sure :-)

  5. axgoyal says:

    The answer must be C, as this is the only choice which is appropriate for the sentence. A is very unclear and “attrition with increased pension” makes it awkward. The B has repetition of word “attrition”, D is too wordy and E has again the repetition of word “attrition”

    Thanks,

  6. Neyhee says:

    Answere is (E)

    The labor agreement permits staff reductions through , which provides increased pension benefits and a special early-retirement program for speeding the attrition process

  7. neelima says:

    Answer is B

  8. sam_kartz says:

    Its E

  9. jay says:

    C because the increased pension benefits and a special
    early-retirement program are parts of the attrition.

  10. Amar says:

    I think it’s E.

    B) ‘and provides ‘ is incorrect
    (C) attrition, which will be speeded up by providing increased pension benefits and a special early-retirement program
    ….speeded up by providing…. doesn’t look right. Those are benefits given by attrition, but not to speed up the process

  11. Rish says:

    Its C

  12. Manoj Bansal says:

    C
