清欢淡喜

22. In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters. An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters’ salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments.

Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive?

A.    Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors.
B.    Most of the newspaper’s reporters had worked there for more than ten years.
C.    The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily throughout the 1980s.
D.    The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper’s competitors.
E.    The newspaper was widely read throughout continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America.

答案是B,谁能讲解一下思路啊?谢谢!

我刚做的。我认为哈，最后一句话since后面说的意思是记者们获得的宝贵的锻炼机会完全可以弥补他们工资上的差额，所以才不给他们更高的工资。 而通过选项B可知，大部分记者都是工作很久的，他们不需要锻炼机会，已经很有经验了。所以削弱。
