Q41

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

 

Yorco and Zortech are two corporations that employ large numbers of full-time workers who are paid by the hour.  Publicly available records indicate that Yorco employs roughly the same number of such hourly wage workers as Zortech does but spends a far higher total sum per year on wages for such workers.  Therefore, hourly wages must be higher, on average, at Yorco than at Zortech, since _____.

 

1. Zortech spends a higher total sum per year than Yorco does to provide its hourly wage workers with benefits other than wages

2. the work performed by hourly wage workers at Zortech does not require a significantly higher level of skill than the work performed by hourly wage workers at Yorco does

3. the proportion of all company employees who are hourly wage workers is significantly greater at Yorco than it is at Zortech

4. overtime work, which is paid at a substantially higher rate than work done during the regular work week, is rare at both Yorco and Zortech

5. the highest hourly wages paid at Yorco are higher than the highest hourly wages paid at Zortech

答案是d  我选e!!!

答案d没错。你想，如果Y公司要付很多加班费overtime pay给工人，加班费又是平时时薪regular pay的好几倍，那么即使两个公司用的工人一样多，Y也得多付好多钱呢。d就是排除了加班费的这个可能，使结论可以成立。

 为什么要排除这个可能呢？既然就是要证明：Therefore, hourly wages must be higher, on average, at Yorco than at Zortech,

rosmarine

如果不排除加班费的因素，那就不能证明Y公司的小时工资高呀，因为两公司的regular小时工资有可能是一样的，只不过Y付了好多加班费而已。

原文是要support "hourly wages must be higher, on average, at Yorco than at Zortech".

而hourly wages = 总的钱数 / 总的工做小时数.而总的钱数在文中说了Y多(Y spends a far higher total sum per year on wages for such workers).剩下的就看总的工做小时数了.如果总的工做小时数一样的话,就能说Y比Z多.而D说加班少,就是Y和Z的工人都是每天正常工作(小时数固定的).

D是对的.

而E没有给出总的工做小时数的比较.

懂了 是我错了^-^ 谢谢两位！

我想借帖问一下

B是不是算无关呢?
