OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

Argument Evaluation: strengthen the argument

Situation:

In spite of income inequality increasing in the UK, it is one of the best places to live

and work since the global financial crisis in 2007.

Reasoning:

Which point can strengthen the argument that in spite of the inequality, Britain is still

one of the best places to live and work? It should be the one that says that people are

leading a contented life in Britain.

(A) This tells how the Britons tackled the financial crisis; it has no relevance to the UK being a good place to live and work.

(B) Change may be indicative of possible or negative impact, hence irrelevant.

(C) Correct. This says that there has been an increase in the percentage of British people declaring being very satisfied with their lives. This strongly supports the argument since ‘being satisfied with life’ is suggestive of people considering the UK one of the best places to live.

(D) Stress ‘level’ of people can be just one aspect that contributes to the quality of life.

(E) This is concerned with satisfaction and confidence in institutions alone and may
strengthen the argument partially.

Choice (C)
