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.
