Labor laws cannot in and of themselves eliminate the discrepancy between the earnings of union and non-union workers. High-paying occupations are not evenly distributed along union and non-union lines; unionized positions tend to yield higher wages. Therefore, even when labor legislation is rigorously applied, ______________ is the result.
Which one of the following is most appropriate for inclusion in the blank above?
A) a smaller discrepancy between the salaries of union and non-union workers
B) a wider distribution of unionized workers among lower paying jobs
C) an increase in competition for high paying jobs among different non-union groups
D) a comparatively lower earning average for non-union workers
E)a greater financial gain for non-union workers with large salaries
Please help me to understand how the OA is correct.

Which one of the following is most appropriate for inclusion in the blank above?
A) a smaller discrepancy between the salaries of union and non-union workers
Eliminate this one because it implies labor laws will make the "discrepancy between the earnings" smaller when the argument is that labor laws will do the opposite.
B) a wider distribution of unionized workers among lower paying jobs
I eliminated this one because unionized workers should be making more than non-union workers.
C) an increase in competition for high paying jobs among different non-union groups
This answer is wrong because it is implied that the legislation will make only unionized positions hold high paying jobs
D) a comparatively lower earning average for non-union workers
If all the high paying jobs go to union workers, then the non-union workers will take the lower paying jobs
E)a greater financial gain for non-union workers with large salaries
Wrong because unionized workers will now compete with these non-union workers when the legislation goes into effect.

What is the argument focusing on? Discrepancy between earnings of union and non-union workers. The argument discusses why labor laws cannot eliminate this discrepancy. The unionized positions get higher wages than non unionized positions. So even when labor laws are applied, non union workers earn less than union workers.
A) a smaller discrepancy between the salaries of union and non-union workers
Against our argument so cannot be a part of it.
B) a wider distribution of unionized workers among lower paying jobs.
Argument says nothing of the kind.
C) an increase in competition for high paying jobs among different non-union groups
It probably is true that there is increased competition for high paying jobs but our argument does not talk about that. We are discussing earning discrepancy and trying to establish why labor laws are not effective in dealing with it.
D) a comparatively lower earning average for non-union workers
The argument is trying to explain why labor laws do not eliminate discrepancy so this option is suitable.
E)a greater financial gain for non-union workers with large salaries
Against our argument so cannot be a part of it.
Answer (D)
