Contrary to the statements of labor leaders, the central economic problem facing America today is not the distribution of wealth. It is productivity. With the productivity of U.S. industry stagnant, or even declining slightly, the economic pie is no longer growing. Labor leaders, of course, point to what they consider an unfair distribution of the slices of pie to justify their demands for further increases in wages and benefits. And in the past, when the pie was still growing, management could afford to acquiesce. No longer. Until productivity resumes its growth, there can be no justification for further increases in the compensation of workers.

Which of the following statements by a labor leader focuses on the logical weakness in the argument above?

(A) Although the economic pie is no longer growing, the portion of the pie allocated to American workers remains unjustly small.偶怎么觉得这个选项连读起来都不通啊？没有转折的含义？请教这题的思路，谢谢啦。

(B) If management fails to accommodate the demands of workers, labor leaders will be forced to call strikes that will cripple the operation of industry.

(C) Although productivity is stagnant, the U.S. population is growing, so that the absolute size of the economic pie continues to grow as well.

(D) As a labor leader, I can be concerned only with the needs of working people, not with the problems faced by management.（A）

(E) The stagnation of U.S. industry has been caused largely by factors—such as foreign competition—beyond the control of American workers.

一个让人晕死的问题。。。

已知条件：1）不是分配问题，是生产力问题；2）生产力停滞—蛋糕不再变大；3）分配不公平—对进一步工资增长的需求；4）直到生产力增长，才有进一步要求工资增长的权利

问削弱

原来题目要削弱的结论就是最后一句，前面全是罗嗦的废话！！

(A) Although the economic pie is no longer growing, the portion of the pie allocated to American workers remains unjustly small.尽管经济不再增长，每个工人工资比例超低。（也就是在经济增长的时候，工人的工资也没有因为允许争取进一步工资增长而获得公平的财富分配喽）。。晕~~~

A选项单独看是没有啥转折的意思，可是隔在原文里就是有转折的意思了。。

還是不懂...

怎麼推出: "也就是在经济增长的时候，工人的工资也没有因为允许争取进一步工资增长而获得公平的财富分配" 的啊?

另外C為什麼不對?

C說明這塊大餅的絕對值還是增長了啊?

我想我搞懂了...

問題出在比例上而不是絕對值上... 不管實際國民產值多少, 工人的薪資比例就是偏低, and that's what the labor leading striving against...

我明白c的错误，但是A还是没弄清楚那句话的推导。

请nn指点

原文的隐含条件是：当经济不增长（即蛋糕没做大时），分配本来就是公平的。

由此有原文的推论：因为蛋糕做大了，原来的份额（比例）就显得小了。所以原来公平的分配就显得不公平了。那么在经济增长情况下，管理层可以默许这种要求。但经济不增长时，就没有所谓的“分配不公平”说法。

答案是直接weaken原文的隐含条件。
