I am wondering why A is correct, and could you help to explain the functions of each parts in the passage. Like the first sentence serves as what function and the second does what.....
Looking forward to your reply, thanks!

Hello Henkey. It looks like the other parts of the passage are arguments (logical reasons) why wages are higher in new than in old trades. The first sentence serves as the conclusion that is presented in the beginning of the paragraph.

I choose E because I think A is not comprehensive, it ignores one sentence, " Where all other circumstances are equal"

Yanrong, a conclusion does not have to contain the reasoning. It is the result of reasons and arguments. Why did you say choice A ignores "where all other circumstances are equal"? It contains the sentence.

If A is a conclusion, then the contents afterwards should be about why A stands. But the following is like the resulting phenomenon. That's what makes me skeptic about A.
