In two months, the legal minimum wage in the country of Kirlandia will increase from five Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of this increase have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible, since only a very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than KD5.50 per hour.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

一道GWD题(两份答案不一致)

GWD25-Q2.

In two months, the legal minimum wage in the country of Kirlandia will increase

from five Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of

this increase have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation

rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible, since only a

very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than

KD5.50 per hour.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A. Most people in kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage have

  been employed at their current jobs for less than a year.

B. Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00

  per hour, in violation of kirlandic employment regulations.

C. Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but must

  reward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay level

  of trainees.

D. The greatest growth in Kirlandia’s economy in recent years has been in

   those sectors where workers earn wages that tend to be much higher

   than the minimum wage.

E The current minimum wage is insufficient for a worker holding only one job 

to earn enough to support a family ,even when working full time at that job.

两份答案分别选A和B。个人倾向于选B,觉得原文观点强调的是数量问题,即工资低于5.5的人只有一小部分,B答案强调的是程度问题,即工资低于5的人也不少,这样可以削弱原文观点。不知这样理解对否。还请大牛指点。多谢先。

support C

A is irrelevant

If B is correct that some companies broken the law, it is unnecessary for them to set the salary level up to meet the needs of the new regulation so that such action will impact the economic of the country a lot.

CD22的参考答案里有不少还是有问题的

我建议您去看SEN4SUN的原版帖,里面有一个链接是CR/SC/RC分开的文件,当中虽然也有一些错误,但是比之LANGER MM的总结版似乎要少一些
