Sports celebrities

Franklin: It is inconsistent to pay sports celebrities ten times what Nobel laureates are paid. Both have rare talents and work hard.

Tomeka: What you've neglected to consider is that unlike Nobel laureates, sports celebrities earn millions of dollars for their employers in the form of gate receipts and TV rights.


Franklin's and Tomeka's statements provide support for holding that they disagree about the truth of which of the following?

A) Nobel laureates should be taken more seriously

B) Nobel laureates should be paid more than sports celebrities

C) Sports celebrities and NObel laureates work equally hard for their employers.

D) There is no rational basis for the salary difference between sports celebrities and Nobel laureates

E) The social contributions made by sports celebrities should be greater than they currently are.
