GWD6-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?

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.

文章说:

1. D的批评者抱怨说D当政期间job lost的问题

2. 事实是, 不仅job created 多于job eliminated,

3. 而且new job的平均pay要高于城市的平均pay

结论: D任职期间的paycheck增加了

问题问加强

A. 3年前的job created 的平均pay, 比D当政初期的job created 高, 文中没有设计初期末期, 当政期是一个整体, 不是答案

B. D当政时,城市平均pay是10年最低点, 不管是不是最低点, 结论只讨论是否增加, 就算是100年最低点, 增加还是增加, 不是答案

C. 一些job被create之后又被eliminate了, 不影响结论, 因为条件2说, 增加比减少的多, 无论减少的是否是当初被增加的, 总之还是增加的多, 不是答案

D. job eliminated的评价pay基本等于city平均pay. 看条件2和3, 增加的数量大于减少的数量, 增加的pay高于city pay, 减少的约等于city pay, 那么总体平均必然提高, 加强结论是答案

E. in the city 和suburbs 之间的比较无意义, 不是答案

因此这个题目应该选择D
