But what about when there is a need for accurate market data? Wouldn't simple ranking be better in that case?

I agree with Mary. It allows for a more systematic comparison.

Hold up, what if I just compare the jobs to a giant hamster wheel? That's a simple ranking approach, right? Hey, don't judge me, I'm just thinking outside the box here!

I'm feeling a bit sleepy, but I think the correct answer is C. Who wants to spend a fortune on simple ranking, am I right? Paired-comparison is the way to go, folks!

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Accurate market data is crucial, but if the cost of simple ranking is too high, paired-comparison might be the way to go.

D seems like the obvious choice here. If you don't have enough information on the job content, the paired-comparison method can help fill in the gaps.
