Q14:

Political Advertisement:

 

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?

 

1. 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.(缩小范围了)
2. Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.
3. Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again.
4. 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.
5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.

 Answer: 
                    D

E是不是因为currently 所以错，那a,d 怎么区分？？？a 是不是属于缩小了讨论范围？？原文讲的是the average paycheck in this city ，而a讲的是average pay for jobs created~~~

B说道过去三年工资增长，文中没有提及啊，而且不知道市长上任几年，因此可以排除（说不定他上任一年，前两年都是别的市长的功绩呢，呵呵）。

D是可以的，失去的工作工资的等于平均工资（或者小于），那么新增的工资更高，则肯定整体水平增加了。
