Which point from the speech most validly supports Warren's argument that wage discrimination against women currently exists?

"Women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation."

"Today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans."

"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."

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

A is the answer because of the emphasis on "today", which helps to highlight that women still earn less than men.

B is tempting, but "unequal pay" is vague, and the answer is too focused on the education of women.

C doesn't offer any good explanation.

D is trivial
