GWD25--2 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. 答案是B，但是我觉得应该选C，请大家讨论。 曾经有人讨论过，有说b的又说c的 下面说说我的感觉：我想问这个题目到底要削弱的是什么，大多数人都觉得应该是削弱“inflation不会有波动” 但是我觉得不一定是要削弱“inflation不会有波动”，我在想 impact on wages will probably be negligible这句话是一定和“inflation不会波动”联系起来么，我怎么觉得只要削弱“negligible”这个词就可以了 因此我在分析选项的时候，感觉是c是无关的比较，b说regulation，可是minimum wage policy不能保证那些employer就改邪归正了 所以我选了E，感觉这个是最impact的，直接削弱了提高wage带来的微弱影响 我希望NN们来指点一下迷津，这个题目真的是很tricky。。。 |
