When demand for a factory’s products is high, more money is spent at the factory for safety precautions and machinery maintenance than when demand is low. Thus the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee each month should be lower during periods when demand is high than when demand is low and less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance.

Which of the following, if true about a factory when demand for its products is high, casts the most serious doubt on the conclusion drawn above?

(A) Its employees ask for higher wages than they do at other times.

(B) It s management hires new workers but lacks the time to train them properly.

(C) Its employees are less likely to lose their jobs than they are at other times.

(D) Its management sponsors a monthly safety award for each division in the factory.

(E) Its old machinery is replaced with moderns, automated models.

此题感觉上整体混乱,哪位解释一下,相关连接说我不知怎么就没权限了,大家费力看看吧

我的理解：

题目：当一个工厂产品的需求量高时，工厂会投入更多资金用于安全防范和机器维护，这样在此期间每月每个员工工作事故量少于产品需求量低的时候的事故量，那么更少的钱会被用于安全防范和机器维护。

结论：less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance。

B 管理层会雇佣很多新手，但没有足够的时间给他们适当的培训。

因此，工作事故量不会减少，那么“更少的钱会被用于安全防范和机器维护”的情况也不会发生。

怎么觉得D所说的“发安全奖”，直接削弱了结论“费用降低”呢？

而且B也并未把新手和事故联系起来呀。

这里ets用了一个common sense，就是没培训过的工人容易出事故。

看了半天才明白你错了啊。结论是最后一句，但是结构是这样的：number should be lower when... than (when....and....)，less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance这句话是需求低情况下的。唉，ets真是的...

OG的解释是这样的：

The passage concludes that in a factory the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee is likely to decline when demand for the factory’s products is high, on the grounds that more money gets spent on safety measures when demand is high than at other times. You are asked to identify a fact that casts doubt on this conclusion.

结论应该是：员工的事故少了，而不是less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance。

Thus the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee each month should be lower during periods when demand is high than （when demand is low and less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance）.

ETS ask me to do SC, but it often overlook SC.

Thus the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee each month should be lower during periods when demand is high than when demand is low and less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance.

>I feel so confused when I read the red part.  Why not say:>

>Thus the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee each month should be lower during periods when demand is high than when demand is low and therefore less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance.>

gwd说了,选错误率最低的选项,发安全奖和"ask high wages"(仅仅是ask)的错误率都不如"确确实实没有培训"的这个情况低.

请问大家，这题如果我削弱第一句话可不可以作为答案？也就是说，demand增加了但工厂用于安全防范的开支不一定增加，用来削弱demand增加事故变少的结论，可以么？

题目的第一句话算是既定事实或是已知客观条件么？可以削弱么？

谢谢！
