Question

Senator Warren states that 99.6 percent of occupations pay men more than their female counterparts. Is this evidence relevant in support of Warren's argument that there is a discriminatory wage gap between men and women? No, because the statistic fails to support Warren's argument. Yes, because the statistic directly supports Warren's argument. Yes, because statistics always support an argument's point. No, because the statistic addresses only men's incomes.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is:

C. Yes, because the statistic directly supports Warren's argument.

Considering Warren's assertion that there is an inequitable wage gap between men and women, the statistic he presents - which reveals 99.6 men earn more than women- provides categorical evidence to support his claim. As a result, the percentage introduced by Warren represents a valid reasoning because it is straightforwardly related to the claim.
