In two months, the legal minimumwage in the country of Kirlandia will increase
from five Kirlandicdollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of
this increase have argued thatthe resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation
rate up. In fact its impact onwages will probably be negligible, since only a
very small proportion of allKirfandic 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 whoare currently earning the minimum wage have
been employed at their current jobs for less than a year.
B. Some firms in Kirlandia havepaid workers considerably less than KD5.00
per hour, in violation of kirlandic employment regulations.
C. Many businesses hire traineesat or near the minimum wage but must
reward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay level
of trainees.
D. The greatest growth inKirlandia’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 isinsufficient for a worker holding only one job
to earnenough to support a family ,even when working full time at that job.

For weaken questions, you can either attack the premises in the stimulus, or attack the assumption in the stimulus, or present a counter example, or other ways to make the argument less likely.

C is the correct answer.
