2. 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?
Most people in Kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage have been employed at their current jobs for less than a year.
Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00 per hour, in violation of Kirlandic employment regulations.
Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but must reward trained workers by keeping their pay levels above the pay level of trainees.
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.
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.
答案选B, 看了很久还是想不明白为什么选B...... 求解释！！！

Mel: The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best candidates to the job. The legislature’s move to raise the salary has done nothing to improve the situation, because it was coupled with a ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements.

Pat: No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.
Pat’s response to Mel is inadequate in that it
A. attempts to assess how a certain change will affect potential members of a group by providing evidence about its effect on the current members.
B. mistakenly takes the cause of a certain change to be an effect of that change
C. attempts to argue that a certain change will have a positive effect merely by pointing to the absence of negative effects
D. simply denies Mel’s claim without putting forward any evidence in support of that denial
E. assumes that changes that benefit the most able members of a group necessarily benefit all members of that group.
答案选A 求解释！！！！！

GWD25-Q2：参考http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_CR/thread-726020-1-1.html
GWD25-Q3：关键是A和C难区分，C项是Pat的论证思路，在此思路里他对于negaive effect的理解有问题，他认为ban现在将来都不会是negative effect,但事实上现在不是negative effect不代表将来不是，所以选A，C错在the absence of negative effect一概而论，如果你也一概而论就犯了和P一样的错误，但如果将其理解为当下的negative effect也就是我前面提到的C其实是P的论证思路

原来这样理解~~之前看了老半天都不知为何选那答案~~顺便再请教一题~~
19. GWD-23-Q32

Excavations of the Roman city of Sepphoris have uncovered numerous detailed mosaics depicting several readily identifiable animal species: a hare, a partridge, and various Mediterranean fish. Oddly, most of the species represented did not live in the Sepphoris region when these mosaics were created. Since identical motifs appear in mosaics found in other Roman cities, however, the mosaics of Sepphoris were very likely created by traveling artisans from some other part of the Roman Empire.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The Sepphoris mosaics are not composed exclusively of types of stones found naturally in the Sepphoris area.
B. There is no single region to which all the species depicted in the Sepphoris mosaics are native.
C. No motifs appear in the Sepphoris mosaics that do not also appear in the mosaics of some other Roman city.
D. All of the animal figures in the Sepphoris mosaics are readily identifiable as representations of known species.
E. There was not a common repertory of mosaic designs with which artisans who lived in various parts of the Roman Empire were familiar.
答案选E 求解释！！！

谈一下个人看法，这题是一道典型的assumption题，按lawyer对于逻辑解题的思路而言就是找答案：答案分两类型：SUPPORT（填补推理上的概念GAP），DEFENDER（排除WEAKEN结论的可能性，即排除他因）。此题属于DEFENDER题，理解为排除有a common repertory 让Sepphoris的艺术家去借鉴创作。

提个小小建议，请楼主问题别接着，以标题的方式呈现，标题直接点出出处，方便后来的童鞋搜索查阅

楼主有时间需要细细体会lawyer大牛逻辑方法，帖子自己找一下！
