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?

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.

Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.

Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again.

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.

The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.      

the answer is c. I don’t know how c can strength the argument.i chose d.

答案d说失去工作的平均工资与全市的平均工资水平相同，根据题目中新工作的平均工资高于全市平均工资，可以得出新增加的工作的工资水平高于消失的工作的工资水平，再加上the fact is that more jobs are created than were eliminated, we can safely conclude that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger. Then the answer D support the conclusion. Am I right?

你的分析是对的，其实原文的推理缺陷也是没考虑那些取消的工作，D正好补充了这点。
