Mayor Delmont's critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont's leadership. Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office. So there can be no question that throughout Delmont's tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument in the advertisement?
A.The average pay for jobs created in the city during the past three years was higher than the average pay for jobs created in the city earlier in Mayor Delmont's tenure.
B. Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.
C.Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont's tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again.
D.The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont's tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide.
E.The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.
感觉A挺对的啊,但是正确答案是D,但是D真的没有看出来如何support conclusion。请各位给指教一二。谢谢!作者: jj1400 时间: 2013-7-21 00:09
A是肯定不对的,原因是题目需要加强的是在D这个人任期内的paycheck. 而A说的是跟以前比,是错误的。题目需要D任期内的每年的比较。
B是一样的错误
C,跟工资无关
D,是对的。你可以想一下,如果被除掉的Job, 他们都是大企业的CEO,每人年薪1000万,然后被除掉了2个; 然后根据题目,新的工作比除去的多,那么,咱假设新增设了3个环卫工人,每个人工资10块钱。那么,平均的还是低了。所以,只有被除掉的人,其工资是average,那么,加上“增加的比除去的多而且增加的工作的pay要高”这个条件,结论才会成立,结论说的是总体的。
