也不正确。逻辑上应该讲的是“两年内的最低值”。
2-year-low level的字面意思是，两年的低值。不符合逻辑呀。
到了两年内的最低值，逻辑上有什么错误呢？

consider other uses of the adjective "two-year":
a two-year lease is a lease that LASTS for two years.
a two-year recession is a recession that LASTS for two years.
a two-year marriage ... etc. etc.
【转载gmatclub】：you're right that we wouldn't want to use "lowest" to compare two figures, such as the levels for two entire years.
However, "the lowest level in two years" means that if we look at all the levels over a two year period, this would be the lowest point.
Imagine a graph of daily, weekly, or monthly values for the past two years. We're talking about the absolute lowest point on that graph.
By saying "low level," it doesn't tell us this is the lowest level in two years - just that it's low. It could have been just as low at some other point in the past two years, and that this is just one of those times. Since that's not specific enough for readers to understand quickly, it's not the best answer.
B选项：同理
C选项：to what would be 中的would使用有误，因为需要表示事实
D选项：表达有误，two year low level可以有多个意思，此处意思模糊
1. two-year有歧义，通常表示持续两年
RON：the principal objection here is that the meaning is incorrect/unclear: for instance, a 'two-year low level' could mean that it hit a low level and then stayed there for two years.
consider other uses of the adjective "two-year":
a two-year lease is a lease that LASTS for two years.
a two-year recession is a recession that LASTS for two years.
a two-year marriage ... etc. etc.
2. 语义上：达到最低点才能推导出持续增长，因此是lowest
E表示一个时点
都在修饰level， DE最大的差别是low 和 lowest，后面的句子中描述gradual improvement，只有当到达最低点才能说在逐渐上升。
C选项：to what would be 中的would使用有误，因为需要表示事实
AE区别：so that 不能用来修饰名词
the principal objection here is that the meaning is incorrect/unclear: for instance, a 'two-year low level' could mean that it hit a low level and then stayed there for two years.
we can see that this answer choice has (or at least primarily suggests) the incorrect meaning: a two-year low level would be a low level that lasted for two years. that's not the intended meaning in the problem.
E表示一个时点
句子的意思是在某个时点达到的最低点 所以选E
以为两年是两个东西在比只能用-er的比较级，不能用-est最高级
然而两年内的level不限于两个东西，so……
