7. A recent survey showed that many workers in a certain company are dissatisfied with their jobs. The survey also showed that most of the dissatisfied workers believe that they have little control over their job assignments. Therefore, to increase workers job satisfaction the company’s management need only concentrate on changing workers’ beliefs regarding the degree of control they have over their job assignments.
Which one of the following, if also shown by the survey, would most seriously call into question the conclusion made by the author of the passage?
(A) The dissatisfied workers feel that their wages are too low and working conditions are unsatisfactory.
(B) The number of workers in the company who are satisfied with their jobs is greater than the number who are dissatisfied.
(C) The workers in the company are more dissatisfied than workers in other companies
(D) Most people in company management believe that the workers already have too much control over their work.
(E) The workers in the company who are satisfied with their jobs believe that they have a lot of control over their job assignments.
首先要清楚题干的结论是Therefore之后的话，是如何提高工人的job satisfaction？结论是：only focus on changing workers' belief regarding the degree of control。
所以要weaken就有两个方向：一个直接说increase degree of control不行；另一个间接说除了degree of control的问题之外还有其他问题，言下之意说"only focus on degree of control"其实也不能提高job satisfaction。正确选项A说的就是后者：就是工资和工作环境也都不行，意即weaken了结论。
