Read the passage.

excerpt from "Why Equal Pay Is Worth Fighting For" by Senator Elizabeth Warren, April 17, 2014

I honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014.

When I started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. Women have made incredible strides since then. But 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work.

Women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. Bloomberg analyzed Census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. In 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. That's not an accident; that's discrimination.

Senator Warren states that she "honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014."

Is this evidence relevant to support her argument that women should receive equal pay for equal work?

Yes, because Warren's statement emphasizes that wage inequality is unequivocally wrong.

Yes, because Warren's statement convinces us that wage inequality is part of our history.

No, because Warren's statement is specific only to the field of education.
No, because Warren's statement shows her outrage but does not explain why she feels that way.
