Comparisons of the average standards of living
of the citizens of two countries should reflect the cit-
izens' comparative access to goods and services.
Reliable figures in a country's own currency for the
average income of its citizens are easily obtained.
But it is difficult to get an accurate comparison of
average standards of living from these figures.
because-----.
(A) there are usually no figures comparing how
much of two different currencies must be
spent in order to purchase a given quantity of
goods and services
(B) wage levels for the same job vary greatly from
country to country, depending on cultural as
well as on purely economic factors
(C) these figures must be calculated by dividing the
gross national product of a country by the
size of its population


(D) comparative access to goods and services is only
one of several factors relevant in determining
quality of life
(E) the wealth, and hence the standard of living, of
a country's citizens is very closely related to
their income

Between A and D, I'll go with A. What is OA?

You are correct. OA is A

Appreciate if you could provide your reasoning for choosing A over others

The last statement starts with 'it is difficult to get an accurate comparison from these figures'. So, to end it, you must have something that emphasizes the difficulty. A clearly does that. I was thinking of D but I realized that even if the good and services are only one of several factors, it still does not obviate the difficulty.
