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.
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: 是d，是说剔除掉的工作平均工资大概和城区内平均工资水平每年都相等吗？可是这个怎么support the argument 呢？谁帮我分析一下其中的关系？谢谢！

A.不足以加强,因为没有考虑eliminate的工资

B貌似是削弱

c也是削弱

E提及suburb所以是无关选项.

D去处了可以被削弱了的一个可能性,就是在"增加了很多职位的同时","减少了很多职位".所以这个是支持选项.
