Question: 681

Which of the following properly uses information from the supplementary graph to provide logical support to the author's argument?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. approximate those of OBGYNs.
• C. exceed those of general surgeons.
• D. roughly equal those of registered nurses.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) Analyze the graph. General dentists' salaries are slightly below those of general doctors, so choice (A) is the correct answer. They are significantly less than those of OBGYNs and general surgeons, which eliminates choices (B) and (C), respectively. They far exceed those of nurses, which eliminates choice (D).
