OA is (B). Can someone explain...it is clearly 'mentioned' that Globalization has resulted in job losses. So, how is it an 'assumption'?

I choose B.

Mohish...the arguement never states that globalization has resulted in job losses. That is in fact, the unstated assumption in the argument making B correct.

The article says...

- USA is globalized
- Thoudsnds of jobs disappeared in USA
- Some of the jobs moved to China
- Most of the jobs are squeezed out as American companies are getting tough

The negation test will help.

(B) Globalization has caused loss of jobs in America.

(B') Globalization has not caused loss of jobs in America.

If, according to (B'), the loss of jobs is not due to globalization, the whole article loses its point and nobody knows why is the author talking about 'globalization' and 'loss of jobs in the states'.

B for me. It is referring that Globalization causes the loss of jobs in America also, not only 3rd world countries.
