Comparable worth,as a standard applied to eliminate inequities in pay, insists that the valuesof certain tasks performed in dissimilar jobs can be compared.  In the last decade, this approach has becomea critical social policy issue, as large numbers of private-sector firms andindustries as well as federal, state, and local governmental entities haveadopted comparable worth policies or begun to consider doing so.

This widespreadinstitutional awareness of comparable worth indicates increased publicawareness that pay inequities--that is, situations in which pay is not "fair"because it does not reflect the true value of a job--exist in the labormarket.  However, the question stillremains:  have the gains already made inpay equity under comparable worth principles been of a precedent-setting natureor are they mostly transitory, a function of concessions made by employers tomislead female employees into believing that they have made long-term payequity gains?

Comparable worthpay adjustments are indeed precedent-setting. Because of the principles driving them, other mandates that can be applied to reduce oreliminate unjustified pay gaps between male and female workers have notremedied perceived pay inequities satisfactorily for the litigants in cases inwhich men and women hold different jobs. But whenever comparable worth principles are applied to pay schedules,perceived unjustified pay differences are eliminated.  In this sense, then, comparable worth is morecomprehensive than other mandates, such as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and TitleVII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Neither compares tasks in dissimilar jobs (that is, jobs acrossoccupational categories) in an effort to determine whether or not what isnecessary to perform these tasks--know-how, problem-solving, and accountability--canbe quantified in terms of its dollar value to the employer.  Comparable worth, on the other hand, takes asits premise that certain tasks in dissimilar jobs may require a similar amountof training, effort, and skill; may carry similar responsibility; may becarried on in an environment having a similar impact upon the worker; and mayhave a similar dollar value to the employer.

题目：

I: males employed as long-distance truck drivers for a furniture company make $3.50 more per hour than do females with comparable job experience employed in the same capacity.

II: women working in the office of a cement company contend that their jobs are as demanding and valuable as those of the men working outside in the cement factory, but the women are paid much less per hour.

III: a law firm employs both male and female paralegals with the same educational and career backgrounds, but the same salary for male paralegals is $5,000 more than female paralegals.

(D)  I and II only

(E)   I and III only
