Read the passage. excerpt from "Why Equal Pay is Worth Fighting For" by Senator Elizabeth Warren, April 17, 2014

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.

Does the speaker provide sufficient evidence to prove her point that a wage gap exists?

Question 1 options:

Yes, because she presents multiple statistics that indicate a clear distinction between men's and women's earnings.

No, because although she provides statistics, she doesn't show that the difference in earnings is cause by intentional discrimination.

No, because although she provides statistics, she doesn't specify the different kinds of jobs to which the statistics refer.

Yes, because most of the audiences' experience would support the statistics in real life.
