Resolução
c) Correta. O trecho a que a pergunta se refere é o seguinte: For those newly out of a job, the chances of finding another soon are the worst since records began 50 years ago. Traduzindo, temos: “Para aqueles recém-saídos de um emprego, as chances de encontrar outro são as piores desde que os registros começaram há 50 anos atrás.” Assim, a palavra another (outro) refere-se a “trabalho”.
a), b), d) e e) Incorretas. A palavra another se refere, como explicado acima, a “emprego”.
