In Kravonia, the average salary for jobs requiring a college degree has always been higher than the average salary for jobs that do not require a degree. Current enrollments in Kravonia’s colleges indicate that over the next four years the percentage of the Kravonian workforce with college degrees will increase dramatically. Therefore, the average salary for all workers in Kravonia is likely to increase over the next four years.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A: Kravonians with more than one college degree earn more, on average, than do Kravonians with only one college degree.

B: The percentage of Kravonians who attend college in order to earn higher salaries is higher now than it was several years ago.

C: The higher average salary for jobs requiring a college degree is not due largely to a scarcity among the Kravonian workforce of people with a college degree.

D: The average salary in Kravonia for jobs that do not require a college degree will not increase over the next four years.

E: Few members of the Kravonian workforce earned their degrees in other countries

CD上给出的答案是C，我选的是E。

其实做的时候也觉得E挺勉强的，但是C实在有些想不明白。

假设更高的工资并不是由于具有大学文凭的人少，那么岂不是weaken了原文的结论？怎么能算是assumption呢？

題目說因取得大學文憑者平均薪資比沒有者高

結論:因為唸大學人數預測在未來5年內會增加,所以未來5年平均薪資會提高

前提是...

E.少數人在別國取得文憑,應該無關.

C. 平均薪資高且需要大學文憑的工作不會大量缺乏...所以為正解
