71. In many corporations, employees are being replaced by automated equipment in order to save
money. However, many workers who lose their jobs to automation will need government
assistance to survive, and the same corporations that are laying people off will eventually pay for
that assistance through increased taxes and unemployment insurance payments.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the author's argument?
(A) Many workers who have already lost their jobs to automation have been unable to find new
jobs.
(B) Many corporations that have failed to automate have seen their profits decline.
(C) Taxes and unemployment insurance are paid also by corporations that are not automating.
(D) Most of the new jobs created by automation pay less than the jobs eliminated by automation
did.
(E) The initial investment in machinery for automation is often greater than the short-term
savings in labor costs.
