GWD-8-Q31: GWD-2-12

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

Yorco and Zortech are two corporations that employ large numbers of full-time workers who are paid by the hour.  Publicly available records indicate that Yorco employs roughly the same number of such hourly wage workers as Zortech does but spends a far higher total sum per year on wages for such workers.  Therefore, hourly wages must be higher, on average, at Yorco than at Zortech, since _____.

1. Zortech spends a higher total sum per year than Yorco does to provide its hourly wage workers with benefits other than wages

2. the work performed by hourly wage workers at Zortech does not require a significantly higher level of skill than the work performed by hourly wage workers at Yorco does

3. the proportion of all company employees who are hourly wage workers is significantly greater at Yorco than it is at Zortech

4. overtime work, which is paid at a substantially higher rate than work done during the regular work week, is rare at both Yorco and Zortech

5. the highest hourly wages paid at Yorco are higher than the highest hourly wages paid at Zortech

                                                                  A

这道题对选D有明显疑问

提干意思是：Y和Z都雇佣了相等数量的hour paid worker，并且他们在所有worker占有很大的比重，但是Y 比 Z在wages上的开销却大的多。  由此，推断 Y的per hour的平均工资比Z高，因为―――问的是有这个推断的原因或是假设。

选项A：Z每年在非wage的福利方面的支出远高于Y          常用作weaken题的答案

选项B：Y的小时工作工作要求的技能比Z的高               无关，除非有技能与工资关联的关系

选项C：Y的小时工人在所有工人中占的比例比Z高得多       无关，除非有小时工人工资和非小时工人工资的关联关系

选项D：加班，在Y和Z都很少       无关，或者是weaken

选项E：Y的最高工资比Z的高       无关

对参考答案D有明显疑问，疑问OT 在Y公司和Z公司都是rare at both Y and Z.

请NN指点

D是对的.D说的是加班,也就是涉及到工作时间的问题,这和原文是有很大关系的.
