Today the economy is stronger than it has been for several years and there are many job opportunities in the labor market. It is not surprising then that workers' expectations and requirements are high as they search for the perfect job. The position, salary, and conditions of a job must meet the workers' Prerequisites.
In a recent survey commissioned by the Labor Department, fifty thousand employees throughout the country were asked to rank the desirability of 250 jobs in today's market. The criteria used to rank these jobs were environment, income, security, stress, and physical demands.
Four of the five top-ranked jobs were connected to the high-tech industry, namely Web site manager, computer systems analyst, software engineer, and computer programmer. Meanwhile, jobs involving difficult working conditions, like long hours, heavy lifting, or an element of danger, were ranked toward the bottom of the list; the bottom five were taxi-driver, dancer, cowboy, construction worker, and fisherman.
Some critics argue that other criteria should have been included in this list. However, the results of the survey indicate that more and more people see jobs related to computers and the Internet as the way to go in their employment search.
The article says that ______.
(A) people are interested only in computer- and Internet-related jobs
(B) the economy is responsible for the limited number of job opportunities
(C) experts agree on the criteria for ranking jobs
(D) many of the most popular jobs were high-tech
I think the ans is A. Actually all ans seems correct and making it very confusing.
Look at the word Prerequisites in the article. Which phrases mean the same thing as Prerequisites?
(A) jobs related to the high-tech industry
(B) different working conditions
(C) things that people want in a workplace
(D) the criteria used for ranking jobs
For me the ans is C.
Please advise.

amit82,
First thing, please, no " plz" and "ans". For those who care about using good English, text style English is annoying, especially on an English forum.
My interpretation on the two articles is that, C and D are the most closely matched answers.

Please help for the 2nd one. Are you also on the opinion of D to be the answer.

Hi Dim,
Please accept my apology for the same. Yes, i completely agree with you on the this and it is annoying.
Regarding the answer to the 1st question, the last paragraph says that "Some critics argue that other criteria should have been included in this list.". So do you still suggest C to be the Answer. This line actually confusing me.

Look at the word Prerequisites in the article. Which phrases mean the same thing as Prerequisites?
(A) jobs related to the high-tech industry

(C) things that people want in a workplace
(D) the criteria used for ranking jobs
Not A and B. nonsense
C correct. A thing required as a prior condition for something else to happen.

No worry, I am glad you are receptive of my nagging advice. Actually, I made an "oops", I had reveresed the alphabets in my last post. It should be D for the first one and C for the second.

Thanks Dim for your clarity.
But I am not sure for the 2nd question. The question clearly states that "Look at the word Prerequisites in the article. Which phrases mean the same thing as Prerequisites?”
Which means, it’s NOT asking directly what Prerequisites means from the paragraph. If that would have been the case the question might be “What Prerequisi
