While depressed property values can hurt some large investors,they are potentially devastating for homeowners,whose equity - in many cases representing a life's savings - can plunge or even disappear.

Anyone can shed light on this?
I thought I was correct when i started this post, but by the time I reached the end, doubts popped up :lookround::lookround:

help me with one... pls give the explanation with ur answer 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 it at the automobile company's severance package C) their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to workers. 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
Explanation: 'their scheduled day' is better at the beginning of the correct answer, so only C,D choices remain, we cannot ignore E Between C and D, i think D is a much better construction Between D & E, E gives a different meaning to the sentence.
That is why D.
