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.
我觉得A也有道理。题干的结论是:throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger
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.
Although i choice A that seems a correct answer, finally i realize D will be better
D fill out the gap between "more jobs created than were eliminated" and "the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide"
题干给出两点支持:1。the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, 2。the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.
